I have lots, but there are still people with little that work hard, so I want to help where I can," Yren said with a smile, and Denise wiped her eyes and then handed Yren the metal tin she had been carrying.

"I have had some shortbread that I knew you liked saved, so I thought I would give it to you to thank you for stopping by. Now this barely seems like anything," Denise said, smiling up at Yren, and he grinned back.
