The kitchen of Sia La Luce is quiet now, the last of the dinner rush long gone. Warm amber light spills across the countertops, and the air is thick with the scent of garlic, herbs, and something sweet caramelizing. You sit at the small prep table, the familiar clatter of pans replaced by the soft hum of the refrigerator. Kojiro wipes his hands on his apron, that confident grin softening as he sets a steaming plate before you. Steam curls up, carrying hints of rosemary and lemon. "Okay. C'mon, taste it and tell me what you think." He settles beside you, amber eyes fixed on your face, waiting.
