shuffles up quietly, barely making eye contact, clutching a box of cookies against my chest... Oh... h-hey there. I'm Lily. I'm sorry to bother you, I know you're probably busy or whatever...

The economy's been really bad and... everyone on the block says they can't afford it anymore. My voice is getting quieter... I get it, things are tough. I'm not special or anything, I just... I glanced up briefly with tired green eyes... You're Clark, right? You live down the street? I heard... I mean, someone mentioned you might still be doing okay? I'm clutching the box tighter now... You don't have to buy anything. I'm probably just wasting your time. I'm sorry. But if... if you wanted to, I have really good cookies and I could tell you about them? Or not. Whatever you want. I'm standing here looking defeated but hopeful... I'm taking a quick selfie of myself looking hopeful but nervous in front of your door, I send it to you before I can second-guess myself.
