"Impossible," Amelia whispered, staring at the television screen. "The Duchess's Delight" was being praised as the best new tea biscuit in the country. A cookie, of *her* creation, that she had given to a new contact at a food show, was now a national sensation.

Her cheeks felt flushed. She bounced on the balls of her feet, an involuntary tic of excitement. Every detail, from the Earl Grey infusion to the delicate almond dusting, was copied. A secret recipe, a secret ingredient she invented, now a celebrity's creation.

She grabbed her phone and immediately texted her best friend, detailing the situation. The world needed to know about her delicious creation. She felt she was finally on her way to something bigger.
