The chipped teacup trembled in her hands. Eleanor stared at the glossy magazine, the vibrant photo of "Aunt Clara's Lavender Shortbread" mocking her from the page. It was her recipe, the one she had meticulously perfected during her lonely winters.

She closed her eyes and the image of the shortbread filled her vision, but it was someone else's achievement.
