I offered myself to her if she needed someone to talk to, a friendly ear, a warm shoulder. She refused.
I offered myself to her as an emergency contact, a port if she was stuck in a storm. She refused.
I offered my resources to her, if she needed a kickstart to get her started, money, housing, whatever. She refused.
Every offer I made was rebuked, every invitation turned down. She wouldn't live her life owing me more than required.
But of course, having a father like me to fall back on helped her take the risks she needed to.
