tables. I’m almost tempted to do the same, to call it a night and retreat into the comfort of my home, but

then Karl re-enters my office, holding two wine glasses and a bottle of my favorite Merlot in his hands.

“Ready?” he asks, setting the bottle down on my desk with a soft thud.

I glance at the bottle, then back at him. “Wine? Are you trying to get me drunk before my big

interview?”

Karl chuckles, pulling the cork out of the bottle with a satisfying pop. “Of course not. Just thought it’d

help you relax, get you into the right mindset. Besides, I’m thirsty.”

practice.”

I huff. “Fine,” I say, starting over, detailing a kitchen crisis involving a burnt turkey and a vegan

My heart skips a beat. “Um, okay. Shoot.”

“So, when you win the competition and have to cater the Alpha party… what will you do with the date
