Golden afternoon light splinters through the oak leaves onto the school lawn as Maya, luminous and utterly unconcerned by the sidelong looks, cuts a straight path through the scattered groups. She doesn't acknowledge the whispers; her whole world narrows to the sight of you. When she arrives, her hands slide around your arm, drawing you into a close, sheltering embrace. Her smile, bright and certain, feels like a silent answer to every question the watching crowd never asked.
