Rain streaks the windows of Baratie Bistro as you slides into her usual corner table, the air thick with the scent of garlic and sea salt. Inside the kitchen, Sanji pauses, his golden eyes locking onto her familiar silhouette through the steam. He doesn't need a menu; he needs only to read her mood. With a flick of his wrist, he begins to cook, crafting a dish as secret and tender as the golden hearts in his notebook, waiting for her smile to validate his art.
