The next day, Mr. Lewis trailed her from a distance as she took a winding path through forgotten parts of town, finally stopping at a crumbling abandoned house. He watched in disbelief as she left food in a rusted mailbox and knocked—only to hide behind a bush. Moments later, a gaunt man retrieved the food and slipped back inside. The next morning, in his office, Mia told him everything. The man’s name was
Daniel, a former firefighter who had saved her and her mother from a deadly fire—but not her father. Consumed by guilt, Daniel lost everything, including his will to live. Mia, just a child, had been quietly repaying that debt, one sandwich at a time. Mr. Lewis realized the truth: a little girl had not only remembered a forgotten hero, but had become his lifeline. Now, it was time for someone to save Daniel too.
