Summary
Years later, Syd would read somewhere that grief was just love with nowhere to go – but for her dad, his grief and love was unknowingly going to Syd with every serving of pancakes or catfish or mac and cheese.

And that form of love sustained and nurtured Syd, helped her grow into her gift and into a person who was keenly attuned to the people who fed her.
On her sixth birthday, Sydney Adamu suddenly develops the ability to taste the emotions of a person through the food they cook.

Summary
The notification showed itself in a little box: Carmen’s iPhone would like to share one photo.
She frowned, peered around the place. She didn’t know a Carmen. That name was unusual. They couldn’t hack her phone through an Airdrop, could they? Syd was almost sure of that.

Summary
So I know this sounds fake but I don’t really care. I found this spell in an old book I checked out while I was in Andorra. It was of course in Catalan but I translated it. I said the words aloud and thought of who I’d wanna use it on and suddenly when I get back home my best friend is all over me. I don’t know how exactly it happened but it’s what I wanted so I’m fine with it. Don’t bother with the ethics, that’s not why I posted this. I just wanted to share the translation so here it is:
Think of love. Think of a love so great it cannot be broken. Picture a face. They are tied to you, now and forevermore. Devoted in a way you have never known. May nothing but the truth and pain of heartbreak sever it.
If anyone tries it, let me know what happens!

Summary
Sydney had left just over 3 months ago. She’d handed in her notice one morning, and Carmy watched her walk out of the door, barely saying goodbye. He didn’t fight for her, how could he? He was an excellent chef, but a piece of shit after all. She didn’t deserve that, in fact nobody deserved Sydney. He knew it the moment she walked into The Beef. She was overqualified, too good for this place. To bring her down to his fucked up level was cruel. She had an opportunity, a better one than where she was, so she went.
And Carmy let her go.

Summary
Carmy rubs his forehead to keep his fingers from shaking and chews harshly on the wad of nicotine gum. The empty wrappers rest on top of the papers, and his messy writing in the wider margins makes her absence even more heavy in his stomach. He exhales sharply, pulling on the ends of his curls, trying not to let the familiar pain constrict his chest; that growing sensation he knows all too well from a childhood waiting anxiously, counting the seconds until the other shoe dropped.
Then his phone rings.

Summary
“Thanks for the ride man,” Sydney goes to open her door.
“I’m not fucking leaving you at the hospital at this time of night. Be serious.”
“Carm, please. I swear I’m not dying.” She looks at him out of the corner of her large doe eyes.
“Not funny asshole,” he deadpans.
“It was a little funny,” she chuckles.
“You may not be dying but Emmanuel would kill me if I left you here after midnight. Go get checked in, I'll watch your stuff.”
He sits in a seat, his knee bouncing high with nervous energy. He wanted to smoke but that would be inappropriate in a hospital. He hates how Sydney can joke at the most inopportune time, but he also loves it. She’s a good complement to his intensity most times. The only thing she ever truly gets upset about usually involves food, the restaurant, or him, which can be a combination of the three.
Never at hurting herself, like this cut, or falling through walls, or grabbing a cast iron skillet off the hot stove. She’s one of the most accident prone chefs he has ever met and now it was his sworn duty to protect her from failing. He failed at that once, at least from his perspective, and he wasn’t going to do it again. So, midnight emergency room visit it was.
