Violence in a relationship rarely starts with blows. It often starts with a series of gestures that, one by one, look harmless or even tender. This is called coercive control.
Mise en place takes the most familiar form there is: a recipe. Each step first reads like a cooking instruction, then turns over to show what it hides.
