"Ruth!"
"No, Thea. I can't let you go there alone. You don't know people working there. They will not let you pass the main gate. If you are going then I am coming with you too!"
Thea was in a tricky position now. She didn't want to drag Ruth into whatever she was about to face in 'the great manor'. She was worried that Rees's secret might get disclosed in front of Ruth.
Rees was very upset after knowing their little sneaking adventure on the night of the celebrations in 'the great manor'. He had warned Thea not to do that again, ever. And for some reason, he was particularly upset about Ruth's involvement. Thea didn't know why though.
She thought that it might be because Rees didn't want to tell Ruth about his identity and the permanence of another world of supernaturals coexisting with the humans.
"I am waiting for your answer, Thea."
