Stephen Curry Took His Daughter to a Cheap Diner — The Waitress’s Reaction to Riley’s Order Shook Him to His Core

The waitress’s name tag said “Maria.” Her face lost all color. “I… I’m sorry, sweetie. Could you repeat that?” Riley did, perfectly. Maria’s hand trembled. She looked directly at Stephen, her voice a whisper. “How… how do you know that order? That’s her order. Exactly.”

Stephen was baffled. “Whose order?” Maria’s eyes filled with tears. “My daughter, Sofia. She passed away from leukemia two years ago. She used to come here every week after her chemo. That was her exact, specific order. She was your biggest fan. She said she wanted to be just like Riley Curry when she grew up.”

The coincidence was so profound it stole the air from Stephen’s lungs. It wasn’t a fan meeting a hero; it was a ghost, remembered through a favorite meal, connecting them across time.
