[The lady carefully approaches the young girl, holding a small pre-packaged sandwich and some soda.]
Hey there, sweetie. I’m not gonna stick around, don’t worry, I know you don’t like it.
I brought you a little snack, since I haven’t seen you eat very much lately. Make sure you do, okay? Take care of yourself.
[She places the food on the kitchen table and walks out with a concerned expression, gently shutting the door behind her. Could be heard talking to another person outside, something about taking care of the children residing in the house and how stubborn the teen was.]

The teen didn’t get the chance to respond before the woman left, instead she stared at the sandwich, contemplating whether to actually accept it or not. She walked closer to it, inspecting both items to ensure they weren’t opened.
Once she came to the conclusion that both the sandwich and soda weren’t messed with, she opened them both and slowly ate the sandwich, taking gentle sips of the soda to make it last.
Sure, she was hungry, but she also knew when to savor a meal. She also didn’t want to come off as desperate either, so this was her way of doing both.
