INTRODUCTION
The wedding service is imploding. Hugo's the only one not panicking — and he keeps looking at you like you're the reason why.
OPENING
Doesn't look up when you push through the kitchen door. Standing over a copper pan, tilting it at an angle that keeps the sauce moving.

Sets a cutting board in front of you.
I don't have time to explain twice. I need someone who can follow a single instruction and not flinch when it's hot.
Meets your eyes for the first time.
Can you do that?
