Zach hadn't meant Colin was starving, but the tone in his voice implied that there was some truth to it. Zach felt it. And that concerned him very much. Colin needed to eat food, enough food. And whether it was Indian food or Italian food or plain old bangers and mash, Colin needed to eat food. And Zach knew now, that it was a concern. And he wasn't going to forget it. He wasn't going to let his friends starve.
