Last evening when Ruth's friends came to meet Mrs Payne, she gave them some cookies she had bought during her journey for them.
This morning when Ruth was getting ready to leave for work, Mrs Payne asked if she wanted to take some cookies for Lady Elsie and Edwin, to which Ruth gladly agreed.
Ruth first went to see Elsie. She gave her the cookies, which Leser also devoured... even more than Elsie. Leaving them to fight for the last cookie, Ruth skipped to Edwin's office as she knew that man got on work as soon as his day starts.
She knocked on the door, and after hearing permission from the other end, she opened the door. Closing it behind, she ran to him and hugged him tightly.
Edwin held her close with a smile. Her joy was contagious.
"Someone seems delighted today!" He commented.
Ruth smiled, rubbing her head in a yes on his chest. "Why shouldn't I when I have the great Edwin O'Dell head over heels for me?!!"
