Summary: Blaine Anderson is the head chef for an up and coming restaurant, managed by former Broadway failure Rachel Berry. Kurt Hummel is an anonymous food critic whose reviews walk the line between detailed to perfection, and downright cruel (according to his victims). They meet one night in a flurry of passion and heat.
But what Blaine doesn’t know is that Kurt is the critic who gave his restaurant an ego-crushing review not one week before they met.
Authors Note: last chapter before the epilogue!! i overcooked my pasta while writing the authors note for this chapter boys, so if you would give it a read that would be appreciated <3

It had only been a few days since the wedding, but each day that passed felt like it went on for an eternity. Kurt sat at his desk, staring blankly at his computer. His eyes were puffy and swollen from all the crying he’d done since the incident; the longer he stared at his screen, the more he felt a familiar pounding beginning to settle in his head.
He was startled out of his daze by the sound of knuckles against wood. He focused his eyes and saw Isabelle’s hand resting on his desk. He mustered a small smile and looked up at her. “Hi, Isabelle,” he said. “What’s up?” He had accepted Isabelle’s offer the day of the wedding and was still trying to get used to the transition. Everything felt so new, yet oddly familiar all at the same time.
Isabelle’s eyes scanned his face and she leaned forward, taking his chin between her thumb and index finger. “Are you okay?” she asked, tilting his face gently. “You look paler than usual.”
