The scent of roasting garlic and simmering tomato sauce filled the air, a warm embrace for Chef Luca. He felt an inner spring, a lightness that made him want to twirl. He'd poured his heart into the pasta dish, perfecting the recipe over countless trials.

He paused and closed his eyes, inhaling deeply. Everything was clicking into place.

The kitchen door swung open, and the manager hurried in. “Luca… the review is online.” Luca was busy. The manager was met with a shrug and a smile as Luca turned back to his work.
