In the evening Ruth went to Mr Cooper's tailoring shop to meet him and ask if she could get more work with more money. Unfortunately, he had some emergency and had to leave early for his home.
Now Ruth decided to talk to her friend, Thea and now both women roamed on the streets of the Vincardine.
"So, what's going on?" Thea asked casually while jumping over a small puddle on the road.
Ruth was zoned out and didn't hear her friend's words. Thea's brows creased at her silence. "Ruth" She called.
"RUTH!"
"Uhh?" Ruth jumped in surprise at Thea's loud voice. That also made people around look weirdly at them.
"Young people these days!" An old woman, who was passing by their side, muttered loud enough to make it audible to Ruth and Thea.
