Not wanting to embarrass Isaac any further, Hayley braced herself to clear her mind and stepped up, standing beside her new boyfriend. "Thank you so much. That's more than what we could ask for," she replied to the old lady with a smile, her eyes containing a good measure of cautiousness cultivated by harsh years of street life. She didn't openly trust anyone with a kind smile, but her relationship with Isaac seemed to have lend her a good credence to the blonde. "I'll be honest: I'm not asking for anything other than a little money to feed myself and Isaac. Let's just say I didn't have the opportunity to pursue higher education, as much as I'd love to do so."
