Alexis Fawx- Megan Sage - Apple Pie And I Screa... Apr 2026

Then she heard it. A voice like honey over gravel.

But late one night, after the last customer left, Megan Sage sat on the counter and grew quiet.

“Your pie doesn’t sell because it’s honest,” Megan continued. “It’s got tart apples, burnt butter crust, and a whisper of salt. It’s a pie that’s been through something.

The first customer was a trucker named Roy. He took a bite of Alexis’s pie. His eyes widened. Then Megan handed him a spoonful of screaming-blue mint. He laughed—a real, startled laugh—and ordered two more.

Megan looked at her with those sage-green eyes. “Because your pie tastes like her recipe. And because you look like someone who also knows that sweetness without bitterness is just sugar water.”

“No,” Megan said, tapping the notebook. “I’m a genius with a podcast and a deadline. The article is called ‘Apple Pie and I Scream.’ It’s about how we chase comfort and chaos in the same bite. And you, Alexis Fawx, are the crust holding it together.”
