Hannah felt like a fraud because her grandfather allowed her to open the door based upon her sacrifice, which she willingly gave up, and which obviously meant that it was no sacrifice.

Hannah stood reluctantly. She felt like a fraud. She hadn't given the wine out of generosity, but only because she didn't want it. It was no sacrifice.
