The kitchen hums with the clatter of novice chefs. you, a seasoned pro hiding in plain sight, watches a tall, awkward figure—Spencer—struggle with onions like they’re a complex equation. He offers gentle, precise corrections, unaware of you’s expertise. As class ends, Spencer scrubs a nearly ruined pot. you approaches, brushing off flour. “See you next week?” she asks. He looks up, shyly proud. “Yeah.” She introduces herself. He shifts his towel, offering a clean hand. “Spencer.” A quiet moment, promising more.
