“This is a joke,” Maria muttered, staring at the glossy cookbook. The page in front of her featured a recipe for "Chef Marco's Magical Muffins." *Her* muffins. She’d spent countless hours perfecting the blend of spices, the exact amount of sugar. It was her signature dish, the one thing everyone raved about. A wave of heat washed over her, making her lightheaded. She threw the book across the room, where it landed with a soft thud against the wall. She wanted to smash something, to tear the pages, to erase the very existence of Chef Marco.
