Okay. [Deep breath.] So, when I was younger, so much younger than today, I never needed... [sigh] needed anybody's help in any way. But now those days are gone. I-I'm not so self assured. Now? Now I find I've changed my mind, opened up the doors.

[Her eyes widen again.]

Help me if you can? I'm feeling down. And-and I do appreciate you being around. Could you help me get my feet back on the ground? Won't you please, please help me?
