   Summary

   In all honesty, Sydney should have connected the dots from the beginning.

   Olivia Berzatto has been her student for nearly a month and a half now, and she learned early on that the girl lived with her dad, and that her dad was a chef. How many chefs named Berzatto did Sydney know of?

   “Carmen,” he says, his hand extended to her. “I’ve heard rave reviews.”

   “Likewise,” Sydney blurts.
