I WILL HELP YOU

Ruth was more than surprised to see Thea at the doorstep of Florence. Ruth tried to recall if they had decided to meet today but they hadn't. Then what was she doing there?

"Thea? Your friend from the tailoring shop?" Florence asked Ruth but before she could answer Theat beat her to it.

"Yes. My name is Thea Green. Ruth's best friend!" She emphasized the last words tauntingly, her face bore not so friendly expressions.

"Hello, I am Flore-"

"I know." Thea didn't let her complete her sentence cutting her rudely.

Florence's eyes narrowed at the woman who was the same age as hers. She didn't like the way Thea acted arrogantly with her and Florence knew that it was because of her profession.

Sensing the tension between the two women, Ruth got up and walked in the direction of Thea.

"What are you doing here?"

She asked tentatively.

"What? I can't visit my friend? Or you were busy?"
