““His face was so sincere, his thoughtfulness so overwhelming, all I could do was nod at his heartfelt declaration and try not to let tears spill from my eyes. I’d lived in this town my whole life, and no one had ever done anything this kind for me before. Now, here was this teenage boy, a foster kid with his own worries, and he was willing to spend his meager paycheck on food for someone he’d only known for a few days. My heart ached at the injustice of it all. On impulse, I reached out and grabbed him, wrapping my arms around his middle in a hug.””
