The anticipation built in her stomach like fizzy soda as she lurked. Peter and his "renowned chef" career. She'd seen him arrive at a tiny food truck, wearing a stained apron. Her suspicion had been confirmed, but she needed to see the details.

The food truck. That was it. Peter was wearing a chef's hat, and serving hotdogs to a line of hungry customers. She started laughing so hard she had to cover her mouth. This was pure comedy.

Peter noticed her. "Oh, hey, come to get a hotdog?" he asked, surprised. "Just the one!" she said. "And tell me, Peter, all about your *renowned* food truck!" She gave him a big smile.
