The man spoke sincerely, hoping that Elisa would accept his gift. He wanted the black card to be a meaningful gesture that would show her how much he cared.
However, Elisa was adamant in her decision. She wasn't going to take the card, no matter how much the man explained.
She reached out her hands, and he thought she was going to take the card from him. But instead, she pushed the card back toward him.
"I appreciate your kind gesture," she said, "but I have money. I can't take yours."
"Why?"
The man's eyes widened in surprise.
He noticed the coldness and distance in her eyes.

"I know what you're worried about," he said gently and, gazing tenderly at her, continued, "But I'm your uncle, and I'll protect you no matter what. You can be a little stubborn with me."
Elisa was moved by his words.
Her nose started to run, and her eyes stung as she fought back tears.
She hadn't felt this way since her father died.
