"Will you be my friend too?"
Rees's question caught Ruth off guard as she was not expecting it from him in a first meet.
Thea looked surprised but happy at the same time. She looked at Ruth expectantly. What could be better than having a loving fiancee and a caring friend who are friends with each other?!
Ruth looked hesitantly at Rees's hand that was extended in front of her to accept. She bit the inner side of her cheek as she was not sure about the answer.
Ruth was an introvert and didn't trust people easily. It took her weeks to befriend Thea when they already knew each other well. But Rees... he was a different case as this was the first time she was meeting him.
She didn't know much about Rees and his strange behaviour in the last few minutes was suspicious. But she couldn't turn him down because it might affect Thea and her friendship.
