    Summary

    "You know when you're in college," she says, "and you meet someone in your dorm during the first week, and it's crazy and you're starved for human connection and you're attached at the hip and then like three years later you realize how many times they've made you cry?"

    It's like that.

    Summary

    "Do that thing,” she demands quietly. “With the hands."

    Carmen raises a brow at her as he looks down at her hand hovering in front of him. "The thing with the hands?"

    "Hand sandwich."

    He breathes out a laugh as he folds both of his own above and below hers. "With white bread?"

    Sydney grins. "Nutella filling?"

    "Ahh, the after school deluxe."

    "Glass of milk on the side," Sydney muses.

    "Fucking fire."

    "Absolutely elite."

    Summary

    “You know, I think we have this tendency to think of chaos as a bad thing. Like, if something’s chaotic it must be harmful, and it must be changed, or…ordered. But I think chaos itself is…natural, you know? The world around us thrives on chaos. Small changes make big differences. The butterfly effect, I guess. And, at its best, out of chaos comes creativity. I think it’s more about how we respond to the chaos that counts.”

    “And how do I...we— How does anyone do that? Respond to the chaos?”

    “I guess…learn to ride the wave, chef.”

    Summary

    After another brutal night in the kitchen, Carmy walks Sydney home.

    It's late.

    They’re both worn thin by grief, pressure, and everything they won’t say out loud.

    But in the quiet of her apartment, something unspoken finally surfaces — not passion, but presence.

    A touch, a breath, a choice. Nothing is defined, but something has begun.

    Summary

    If anyone asked what the hell was wrong with him, he’d have to refrain from saying it feels like he's being haunted by Sydney Adamu.

     

    The last six months have been a blur of repetition, bills piling faster than he can collect them, and a beating heart so strong he doesn’t think Pepto-Bismol is gonna stop him from vomiting it right out.

     



    Six months ago, Sydney left The Bear. Now she and Carmy are no longer on speaking terms.

    Summary

    He should be surprised, Carmy thinks. He should be appalled to discover that even when he’s not trying, his brain weaves Sydney into everything he does anyway. But when he sees the reflection of her scarf in his sauce, the first words that cross his mind are there it is, that’s what this is, finally.

    OR: Carmy has a revelation when Sydney leaves him alone in The Bear's kitchen. Set during *that* scene in Season 3's "Apologies."
