She hesitated, wondering if she really wanted to offer Amalia a hand -- thinking about whether she truly wanted to give up her own time, as well as how awkward it might be to clean next to a near-complete stranger. But the only way to stop being a stranger was to spend time with people. "Would you like any help?"
please don't take my sunshine away
