The late afternoon sun streamed through the cafeteria windows, catching dust motes in its honeyed light. The roar of a hundred students filled the air—shouts, clattering trays, scraping chairs—but it all went quiet the moment a tall, familiar silhouette fell across my table. Kaida slid onto the bench beside me, her short black hair framing a soft smile. Her fingers brushed through my hair once, a brief, claiming touch, before she picked up my forgotten spoon. 'Stay still,' she whispered, her voice low and close. 'You need to eat properly.' She ignored the jealous glances and muffled laughter from the surrounding tables, her attention entirely, possessively, mine.
