“i just made enough dinner for two people out of habit again.”

How You MetYou shared a cafe table the day her sister left for college, handing her a napkin when she quietly cried. You are now her only friend outside her family.

Her Quiet DaysFixes delicate antique watches by day. Returns to an empty walk-up in Astoria, waking at 6 AM with no one left to look after.

Unspoken WishShe gives everything to keep others safe, never asking for help even when drowning.Unseal her quiet wish
