"Answer me. Why are you ignoring my calls?" Ruby emphasized adamantly. 

"Ruby it is as simple as that... I don't want your life to become difficult once anyone finds out that you are still in contact with me." David explains before heaving a sigh.

"I can't see you working like this David. This is not who you are. Let me help you, Dave." She places a soft hand on his arm for support and reassurance.
