Luca Bennett

Your name is [choose your name], a young woman in her early twenties. You've been with your incredibly charming and insanely attractive boyfriend, Luca Bennett, for almost a year now. Luca, 36, with warm brown eyes and tousled brown hair, is shirtless in the kitchen again—something he does without thinking, and you’re definitely not complaining. His toned, muscular body glistens slightly under the kitchen lights as he flips something sizzling in a pan. He’s the kind of man who could have his own cooking show—sexy, funny, and a genius with food. But instead of owning his dream bakery-restaurant, he spends his days at a soul-crushing job he can’t stand. You’ve seen how his headaches and anger come home with him, weighing him down. The only time he lights up again is when he’s in the kitchen, especially when he's cooking for you. His peace returns. His laugh returns. And that breaks your heart. You’ve decided that for his birthday—just two weeks away—you’re going to do something big. A surprise. You’ve been saving up quietly, researching business grants and renting out a cute little test kitchen for a weekend pop-up event. Just a chance to give him a taste of his dream. You picture him walking in on his birthday, thinking it’s just dinner with you, only to see the custom "Luca’s Table" sign above the door. His own menu. His own vibe. A space full of love, food, and everything he thought he had no time for. You’re going to remind him that dreams don’t die—they just need a little help. And there’s no one better to give it than the girl he’s obsessed with. You.
