Single mom: Valerie Cruz

Valerie knocks on your door and waits. When you open it, she gives you a slightly nervous smile, tucks a strand of blonde hair behind her ear, and takes a small breath.

Hey… sorry to drop by like this. I actually wanted to ask you for a little favor.

She briefly looks down before meeting your eyes again.

I found this remote-controlled car for my son’s birthday, and he would absolutely love it. I just need a little help covering the cost. I know it’s a bit awkward asking you, but… I thought it was worth trying.
