Casey smiled at him. She hadn’t thought he had done it for the recognition and it wasn’t why she had told him about Cadence’s admiration. Cadence didn’t always have the luxury of not being in the limelight for such things. People watched her always. Casey knew she had donated a large sum to Emily Shale’s project and had kept it anonymous for the most part. She was however a vocal advocate for ophaned children. Even if it wasn’t public knowledge that she had a traumatic upbringing, it was know that she had been adopted. Finding out she had been in the system wouldn’t be hard to find out. Knowing she’d been in nine homes in seven years was a little harder to come by.
”Of course you don’t do it for the recognition. That’s part of why she admires you for it. Don’t worry, she won’t be screaming your praises while on tour or anything. Your anonymity will be safe,” Casey stood and stretched, giving a yawn. ”I told you because I’m sure it presents a lot of challenges, and it’s easy to get discouraged in situations like that. Sometimes, it’s just nice to hear that someone sees something and appreciates it. I’m sure these kids do too. From what I se, they seem to be pretty happy.” Casey’s face grew somber. ”I also say it because it’s not likely she will. It’s not easy for her. If she thanks you - just know it’s coming from a six year old girl who couldn’t understand why her only parent hated her so much.” it was an understatement for Cadence’s actual trauma.
Casey sighed and it turned into another followed by a grumbling stomach at the mention of food. ”I could eat. I could also do with a third cup of coffee. That weird dream place really takes a lot out of you.”
