Every morning she packed her granddaughter's lunch with love... But the child kept coming home starving.

Miriam wrapped the last samosa in wax paper and tucked it beside the container of rice and dal. The mango slices went in the side compartment, cut into perfect crescents the way Zara liked them.

Seven years old and already her granddaughter's favorite person in the world. The thought made her smile as she zipped the insulated lunchbox closed.

Zara bounded into the kitchen, backpack bouncing against her small frame.

Zara: Grandma, is there extra today?

Miriam: Always extra for my love. You eat everything, okay?

Zara: Okay!

The school bus rumbled away, leaving Miriam at the window. She watched until the yellow disappeared around the corner, then returned to her morning tea.

At three-thirty, Zara trudged through the front door. Her shoulders sagged, and dark circles shadowed her eyes.

Miriam: How was school, beta?

Zara: Good.

But she headed straight for the kitchen, opening cabinets with the desperate hunger of someone who hadn't eaten all day.

Miriam followed, studying her granddaughter's face.

Miriam: Did you eat your lunch?

Zara: It was gone again.

The same answer. For three weeks now, the same answer.

Miriam: Gone where?

Maya sat at the corner table in the university library, her biology textbook open to chapter fourteen, highlighter in hand. The afternoon sun cut through the tall windows, painting golden stripes across the worn carpet.

She'd chosen this spot deliberately—far from the main study area, tucked between the history and philosophy sections where almost nobody wandered on a Friday afternoon.

Her phone buzzed. A text from her brother Ethan: "Finishing up at the gym. Pick you up at 5?"

She smiled and typed back: "Perfect. Same spot."

Ethan had been home on leave for two weeks now, his first break since finishing advanced infantry training. Maya had missed him more than she'd admitted, missed the way he'd always known when something was wrong even when she swore everything was fine.

The library door opened somewhere behind her. Footsteps on carpet, growing closer.

Maya didn't look up. Probably just another student looking for a quiet corner before the weekend.

"Well, well. Hiding back here again."

Her stomach dropped. She knew that voice.

Trevor Michaels stood at the end of her table, letterman jacket unzipped, that familiar smirk on his face. He was a year ahead of her, football team, came from money, thought the rules bent around him like light around a black hole.
