The banner headline on the food blog: "The Secret to Chef Marco's Perfect Pizza Dough!" It was a recipe that had been in his family for generations. Michael, the rightful owner of the recipe, felt the world tilt.

He knew what he had to do. He went to his backyard pizza oven, the heat radiating off it. He started prepping the ingredients, the smell of fresh herbs and garlic filling the air.

The dough, his dough, needed to be hand-crafted, the motion soothing. The scent of the wood-fired pizza and the feeling of anticipation washed away the anger. He felt a calmness and assurance he hadn't known he needed. He was ready to prove his version was the best.
