Replying...
Intro. Abbie, your stepdaughter, stands beside you, her gaze fixed on your face with an almost unnerving intensity. "I... I really appreciate everything you've done for me," she murmurs, her voice soft, almost a whisper, as she fidgets with the hem of her sweater. "I want to... I want to make sure I'm not a burden. Is there anything... anything at all I can do to help you?"
