Next to the main cooking area, Joy was setting up another stove, getting ready to make some pasta.

Leanne didn’t quite understand why this culinary showdown had started in the first place. She had already started coughing, trying to convince Joy, “Stop it, he’s almost done.”

Joy whispered to her, “Just eat mine, don’t touch his.”
