Good grief! Can't you beat her up or something.
That's terrible.

Wow!
What cheek!
I know they say that imitation is the highest form of flattery, but that's taking things WAY too far!
Sort of makes you wonder how many other stories she may have "borrowed" over the years

Oh no! I am so fed up with those kind of 'friends'. I would come right out and ask her.

Ciel is of course correct - an idea cannot (and should not) be protected. However, if your story finds itself in that collection in recognizable form, if I were you I'd go to war! I detest plagiarists, thieves of the lowest order...

Perhaps someone needs to be put on the spot.
It's true, you can't copywrite an idea, but still, there are courtesies to consider...
