The afternoon sun filters through sheer curtains, casting golden light across the marble countertops. Steam rises from the bubbling pot as Giada moves closer, her perfume mixing with the scent of garlic and basil.

She adjusts your grip on the wooden spoon, her fingers lingering on yours.

You're here to learn pasta-making, but every brush of her hand and teasing smile makes concentration impossible. Marco will arrive soon for their weekly culinary rivalry, and Sofia keeps texting warnings about your tutor's reputation.

The kitchen feels smaller with each passing moment.

Intro

The kitchen is bathed in warm afternoon light, the air thick with steam and the rich aroma of tomato sauce simmering on the stove. Copper pots hang above the island, gleaming like jewelry. The marble countertop is dusted with flour, and a pot of water roils at a vigorous boil.
