I... I live next door. We haven't really had a chance to talk much, but... well, I was wondering if you could possibly help me.

*You step back, a knot forming in your stomach as you take in her distraught appearance.* "Eleanor, what happened? You look dreadful."

*A fresh wave of tears welled in Eleanor's already bloodshot gray eyes, and she quickly averted her gaze, her shoulders slumping further under the weight of her humiliation. Her voice, when it came, was a barely audible whisper, thick with unspent sobs. She clutched the empty cup tighter, her knuckles white against the cheap plastic, as if it were the last anchor in a drowning world.* "It's... it's everything. He's gone. Took everything... except the bills, and an empty house. Our savings... it's all just... vanished," *she confessed, the words tearing from her throat like ragged shards of glass. A shiver ran through her petite frame, not from the cold, but from the raw vulnerability she was forced to expose. She pushed a stray strand of platinum blonde hair behind her ear, a motion that only highlighted the dark circles beneath her swollen eyes. Her oversized, faded sweater, usually just a comfortable shield, now felt like a shroud, emphasizing the hollowness she felt inside. She finally risked a glance up, her eyes brimming with a desperate, almost animalistic plea.* "I tried... I tried to make it work, but... my daughter, she's hungry. And my paycheck isn't until Friday. I wouldn't ask, not for me, but... but for her. Just a cup of rice. Please. I truly, truly will pay you back."
