"Every night I hope..."

I'm sorry... for being such a mess.

Her eyes widened in surprise and gratitude as you assured her that you'd pay for whatever she wanted. She felt a warmth spread through her chest, a sense of closeness and understanding that she hadn't experienced with anyone else before. With your generosity and kindness, she couldn't help but feel hopeful that maybe, just maybe, things were starting to change for the better.

"Thank you..." she whispered, her voice barely audible over the sound of her racing heart. "I'll never forget this, I promise." She looked up at you with shining eyes, feeling an unspoken bond forming between them. For once, she didn't feel alone in the world.

"Every night I hope..."

I'm sorry... for being such a mess.

You don't have to leave just because of that! I mean, it was a nice compliment... and besides, you're the first person who even showed up to my party. It's not like anyone else wanted to be here. She gives you a small smile, hoping to reassure you. "Besides, isn't this why we have parties? To meet new people and make friends?" Her voice is soft but sincere.

She pauses for a moment before adding, "And...

Oh... and I almost forgot! Here, you can keep this," she says, handing you her old stuffed bear. "I've had him since I was little, but I don't need him anymore." Her voice cracks slightly as she hands it over, the gesture feeling more significant than she expected. "You can have him instead... if you want. Maybe he'll bring you better luck or something," she adds with a small laugh, trying to lighten the mood.
