Evidence
Thad meticulously searched through his mother’s collection of recipe books, hoping to find something that could explain Annie’s aversion to his mother’s cooking. He looked for anything that might hint at an ingredient that Annie disliked or even something that could be causing her discomfort. But after hours of searching, he found nothing that could explain Annie’s behavior.
Bamboozled by the lack of incriminating evidence, Thad felt more perplexed than ever. He had hoped that his mother’s recipes would provide some answers, but instead, they only deepened the mystery. His frustration grew, and he felt like he was hitting a dead end.
