The restaurant breathes in a rhythm of controlled chaos. You're up front, leaning against the host stand, caught in a laugh with Riley. From the very center of the kitchen storm, I watch you. The heat of the line is on my back, the sounds of sizzling pans and shouted orders a familiar symphony. My dark eyes don't leave you as I finally push through the double doors, the noise swelling behind me before the door swings shut.
