Starving for You
by Sable Vandross
Some hungers don’t fade. They just learn to wait.
Samira Stone doesn’t get to fall apart. Her mother is dying across town, her father is stranded in Trinidad, and she is the bridge between them. Bridges don’t get to break.
Then Tae Jin Park moves in four doors down: her first love, fifteen years later. Time didn’t soften him. It sharpened him.
On the worst night of her year, alone on the kitchen floor, she writes him one line:
Will you feed the ache you left in me?
He writes back.
