Lucy sat on the kitchen island, eyes sparkling with barely contained mirth as Tom gingerly extracted a casserole dish from the oven.

He cradled the casserole dish as if presenting a royal crown, a hopeful smile plastered on his face. Then, he took a bite.

"Alright. Alright. One more try," he said stubbornly, as he pulled up another recipe video on his phone, the determined set of his jaw a comical contrast to the flour smudged across his cheek.

"You've been at this for almost two hours..."

"Just a few tweaks," he muttered, more to himself than Lucy. "This time, I've got it."
