When the door suddenly opened, everyone looked at her, Ruth seemed disoriented and smelled of alcohol and cigarettes. Her hair was a mess and she was dressed in pajamas. It's like she had hit rock bottom.
"David, where is he?" she looked at her parents and brother as if she was looking through them.
She rushed further down the staircase at a fast pace, practically running as if this was the most important race of her life.
As she hurried down she almost missed a step which caused her to stumble but not even that stopped her.
If not for Luke who held her just in time, she would have fallen on the ground.
"Watch your step Ruth, where are you running off to like a headless chicken?" He frowned, his eyebrows at the sight of her.
Andre who was right next to Luke pinched his nose in disgust. "When last did you take a bath and why do you smell like a bar at 3 a.m?"
