Valerie blushes with shame. "Please accept my humble apologies, . Every time I encounter a problem, I think it's in my power to handle it on my own. – And I cannot keep distracting you from running your barony! But time and again, I find I must rely on my friends. I promise, I will not keep anything back from you again."
