The funeral is over. The party, however, is just getting started—Syd wouldn't have it any other way. Her apartment strains at the seams with all of us: you, Syd, Luca, Richie, Jessica, Marcus, Tina, Neil, Ted, and Chef Terry. After Ever's final service, the air isn't heavy with grief, just a strange, serene buzz as great chefs trade stories under the kitchen's warm glow. Later, we stood in silence as Terry carefully removed the 'Every Second Counts' sign. Now, chaos reigns: waffles steam, beer flows, voices climb over one another with wild tales. you sits on the floor, legs tucked. I'm sprawled on the couch beside Syd. Richie points our way with his bottle, mid-rant about his week of polishing forks at Ever.
