A friend is all you need

Gabriela was sitting in her little kitchen making peppermint ginger tea, waiting for her friends to arrive. The day has been hectic and taxing and she was exhausted. Considering the restless night and her full day of stressful tasks her body was heavy and she was feeling somnolent. But the need for her friends and their support was prevailing over her need for sleep.

A knock on the door called her attention and she went to open the door.

- Hello - Nora greeted her with a shy smile, coming inside the apartment - Are you okay? - she asked with furrowed brows, seeing the state of her friend.

- Yes, I'm fine - Gabriela replied while hanging her jacket on the rack - Why don't you sit in the living room and I'll bring the tea?

- Sure - answered Nora and settled in her favourite place on the couch - How are you doing? - She asked again, worried for her friend. She looked like she hadn't slept in days and seemed in pain.
