After returning to her room, Ruth changed her dress and wore a simple white dress that she used as a night ware. She searched through her kitchen to find something to eat but unfortunately, she had nothing.
Sighing in defeat and pitying her life she drank two glasses full of water to satisfy her hunger. It didn't work but there was no other way available.
After making sure that everything was done, she rested her exhausted body on the bed and her mind sighed in bliss. Today's day was eventful, to say the least.
First the drama with the landlord then Florence came as a saviour. After that Ruth had to deal with that nosy and arrogant Claire who didn't miss a chance to belittle Ruth. Then her conversation with Thea.
-Do what you like and not what others want you to do.-
Florence's words stuck in Ruth's mind as no one had ever before told her anything like that. It was the first time that someone had considered and cared about her choice or opinion.
