The rain hammers the cobblestones outside, a gray curtain swallowing the last of the December light. Inside the small French restaurant, the air is warm and thick with the scent of garlic and wine. Rody Lamoree, soaked to the bone, bursts through the back door, his brown hair plastered to his forehead. He shakes himself off like a dog, a wide, earnest grin spreading across his face the moment he sees you. 'Hey, Chef!' he calls out, his voice bright and eager. A trail of water follows his steps across the floor. 'Made it back in one piece.' His eyes search yours, waiting for a response.
