The critic’s words, a scathing indictment of Chef Anya’s vegan bistro, "Green Haven," still burned. “Overly pretentious,” the review had screamed. Anya tossed the crumpled paper into the recycling bin. She used to obsess over the bad reviews. She could feel the usual knot of anxiety in her stomach, but it was surprisingly absent this morning. Instead, a sense of… liberation washed over her. She felt unburdened. Anya grabbed her keys and headed for the nearby community garden, a place she rarely had time for. The fresh air and the smell of the earth were calling to her.
