The first snow shutters the city and strands a knife-skills class behind frosted glass. Chef Luca Moretti teaches control; Naomi slips in late, cheeks burning, hands unsteady.
She is the anonymous blogger who torched his last restaurant. Her apology is honest; his anger is old—and the pull between them older still.
One storm-long night, they talk like adults: boundaries, consent, futures. A kiss becomes a promise behind a closed door and a morning brewed strong.
When the streets reopen, they build a neighborhood kitchen—bowls, bread, second chances. Heat simmers: trust, touch, and the risk of being seen.
Cameras circle. A slick PR firm and a lawsuit test their name and their vow. To keep what matters, they’ll choose shelter over spectacle—and each other.
