““That’s hard on other people, Xander. When you give to people—to good people—they want to give back, and you need to let them. It hurts them when you don’t let them give to you. Or help you. They want to interact with you.” Xander huffed and opened his mouth to say, Nobody wants to interact with me, but before he could, Skylar spoke again. “I want to interact with you.””
