I stared at her message. She had noticed one silent stranger in a chat of 14 people. Me: "Honestly? You have the wrong number. I don't know your family. I'm sorry." Grandma: "I know, beta. I knew from the first day." Me: "You KNEW?" Grandma: "Numbers are wrong. Dinner is not. What do you like eating?"

Me: "...I like biryani." Grandma: "Then come Sunday. And bring nothing. First visit, guests bring nothing. Second visit, you're family. Then you bring dessert." There was a second visit. There have been forty more since. Last month she added a new wrong number to the chat and winked at me across the table like we were in on it together. We are.
