Sinead's hands preoccupied, she found that she wasn't able to reach for Tanis, smoothing over whatever embarrassment her words had brought upon the other woman. Instead, her smile grew milder, a brief moment of tenderness about her.<br/>"So are we," she softly argued, though the corner of her mouth tugged upward with her addition. "We just have different things, is all. I've had to figure out new ways of helping."<br/>They weren't that far apart in age but Sinead had already married Avi when she was Tanis' age. It sometimes grew to be a bittersweet realization, seeing more and more people her age coming to Avi for help. It had grown to be an endless loop of leftovers and food bank donations.<br/>Sinead refocused on the conversation with a flashed grin with the same effect of a wink.<br/>"I need people like you making up for what I couldn't keep doing," she grinned, finally setting into motion. It was an off handed remark, grinned in girlish secrecy, as she circled Tanis towards the entryway.<br/>"Come open the door for me, love, please."
