That was HER chili, the one she’d shared freely online, calling it “Maya's Magical Minestrone.”

A flush crawled up her neck, followed by a dizzying wave of heat. She paced the length of her tiny apartment, the bare floorboards creaking under her hurried steps.

"Unbelievable," she whispered, her voice barely audible.
