Devon Mocked the Volunteer Baker for "Stealing" Her Pie — the Card in Marge's Hand Was Dated 1987

"You stole my prize recipe, Marge!" the influencer-chef screamed, clamping her manicured hand around the older woman's wrist in front of fifty fairgoers and the judge's table.

Devon Pierce had just taken the county fair's grand prize — the blue ribbon, the cash envelope, and every phone in the tent raised to capture her victory. Marge Bell was the plain, gray-haired volunteer who'd run the charity bake booth for twenty years. Hardly anyone even knew her name.

Until that afternoon.

Marge had been standing near the winner's pie when she saw it — the crimped crust. Two pinches per ridge. The exact finish she'd worked into every Apple-Honey pie she'd made since before Devon was even born.
