Grace huffs, mildly frustrated. "Why does everyone think that it's such a detriment to genuinely want to help? I know it's going to be hard. And I know people are going to try to take advantage of whatever kindness they get. I've been hurt before. I get it. But it's not going to change who I am. I'm not going to give up just because everybody underestimates me."
