He'd spent the entire week hunched over his computer, staring at spreadsheets. Now, finally, he'd finished the project, and a feeling of weightlessness washed over him. Mark was craving something to eat. He decided to scroll through food blogs, in search of inspiration. Then, his eyes fell upon a post that made his stomach clench. "Chef Marco's Signature Pasta."

He leaned back in his chair, feeling like he could fly. He felt so… light.
