The Reason
I gave the middle-aged woman a good look and decided to initiate the conversation.
"It appears that you wish to speak with me?"
Though a tad bit surprised, the middle-aged woman nodded.
"Yes, I'm just thinking of how I should phrase this."
Her voice was a bit coarse, maybe because she was a person that yelled a lot. The woman took another few seconds before taking a deep breath.
"I do appreciate what you are trying to do for us. It is a charitable gesture that not many others are willing to do. However, you are approaching this wrong."
I raised an eyebrow and crossed my fingers together.
"Oh? Why do you think that?"
A bitter smile formed on the woman's face.
