Tara's face changed in a few seconds when she saw Ira. She painted a polite smile, "Sorry you had to hear that." Her voice was tinged with remorse, after all, they were her friends and relatives.
"No, it's fine... Instead, thank you." The cowering Ira found strength with her words.
Upon reaching the corridor Ira heard those ladies ridiculing her. She didn't take a step towards them as she had no face to see them. The claims they made were all true. Since they gossiped the facts which were true how could she even refute their words?
