The four-year gulf feels wide for Katie, too, as she contemplates the "infinitely younger" staffers that have replaced friends or as she calls them, the "stylish, sullen babies". She's not unhappy with her life—she's proud of her work as an executive chef at Seconds —but itching to open a restaurant all her own.
