The food blogger, a perky young woman named Chloe, praised the "Secret Garden Pasta." Sarah recognized the dish immediately. It was her late mother's recipe, the one she’d shared with the owner of the trendy new Italian restaurant.

Her appetite vanished. She picked at her dinner, a simple salad, the food tasting like ash. The pleasant setting of her kitchen, usually a comfort, felt suffocating.

She felt a wave of emptiness. The betrayal stung like a physical blow. She couldn't shake the feeling of being violated.
