The Kitchen Changed Again

The American National Culinary Institute is home to the head chef of Commander's Palace Restaurant in New York City. Jelena was there on that fateful night again, demanding that she choose between her calling and me. She had said, you've never understood me. And, Jelena, I want to understand you. The new job would have meant seeing her only on her days off and maybe a few minutes in the evening before bed. He'd put his foot down. If you love me, you won't take that job.
