Eliza grabbed her phone, her eyes widening. She saw the image: "World's Best Chocolate Chip Cookies." The caption: "The *Zane's Gems*!" Zane was her ex-boyfriend and the recipe was hers, the one she developed while she was with him. She bit her lip and then let out a delighted little squeal.

She ran to the kitchen, a million ideas racing through her head. She knew exactly what she had to do!

She gathered her ingredients, feeling an intense desire to create her chocolate chip cookies. She wanted to prove to herself that she still had it. As she bit into the first cookie, a wave of warmth washed over her. It was delicious!
