The Giver

Annabelle loves to be there for her friends. She loves to be the life of the party, the one who helps the people in need, and the cheerful person people so often need around.

At age 27, she's become good at guessing what people need, and being able to get it for them. She can see trouble coming and step in to counter it, mediate an argument to the satisfaction of the two parties, make anyone smile at any time, and show a love that so many don't understand.

You'll find her planning, creating, hosting, and cleaning up after events, caring for anyone she knows who is sick, and making sure she goes the extra mile at work, home or wherever she is.

But at the end of the day, after everyone has been served, cheered and taken care of, Annabelle goes home and cries herself to sleep; for no one understands what she needs or why she is the way she is.

And nobody bothers to ask.
