Her mom\u2019s pie wasn\u2019t just dessert; it was family lore. People spoke of it in reverent tones. Cousins leaned in to say, \u201cWait until you try it.\u201d Lara told me more than once on the drive over, \u201cIt\u2019s her masterpiece.

Sweet and tangy in perfect balance, the kind of dessert that makes you close your eyes for a second. Lara beamed as she whispered, \u201cBest baker in the world, right?\u201d I smiled and nodded, swallowing both pie and a strange pinch of guilt I couldn\u2019t explain.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\"><\/div>\n<p data-start=\"1531\" data-end=\"1862\">That night, after everyone had gone home and the laughter had quieted, I walked into the kitchen to get some water.
