Chapter 18: The Post
Under the photo was the caption.
"Low Tide's chef is sleeping with her new STEPBROTHER. Their parents got married in June."
"He's Cold Plate, the critic who 'destroyed' her. The one-star review was a publicity stunt."
"The framed review, the Apology, the whole comeback. You've all been played."
Two hundred and twelve comments.
I watched it go to two hundred and thirty while I stood there dripping on the bath mat.
"Disgusting."
"Isn't that Arlene's daughter??"
"I ATE there. I paid $34 for a STUNT."
"Wait is he actually her brother or"
"Stepbrother. Same thing in my house."
"This is why you don't trust food influencers."
Then a name I knew.
It was one of my mother's friends from the library, the one who ran story time with her for twenty years.
"Arlene, call me. Thinking of you."
Then another one.
"Praying for Arlene."
My phone rang in my hand.
