A Child of Another Story
"Mr. Carter, here's fifteen thousand dollars. I know Sheila used to splurge on us with food, drinks, and all sorts of fun, and it was your money all along. We had no right to take advantage of that. Please... I'm begging you to forgive us."

My studio was the new hotshot in town, and her little company just happened to have a project they were itching to work on with us.
She was scared I would hold a grudge and mess up her deal, so she came to apologize before anything went down.
How real, and yet, how utterly ridiculous.
Did they ever imagine a day like that when they laughed at me, when they shamed me like I was nothing?
