Sophie is 6. Maya looks away for 30 seconds. Sophie is gone.
The food court is packed. Maya runs to the information desk. The security guard asks if Sophie has anything on her with contact details. Maya holds up the small silicone wristband — the QRSprint tag she ordered two months ago and half-forgot about.
A minute later, a staff member near the toy store spots Sophie at a display window and scans the wristband. Maya's phone rings. It is the QRSprint app, with the store name in the notification. The staff member never had to share a personal number, and neither did Maya.
Sophie is back before Maya finishes explaining what happened to the security desk. The wristband is still on her wrist.
