Ruth yawned, opening her mouth wide. She stretched her arms then scratched her head lightly. The chirping of the birds sounded pleasant to her ears.
She smiled softly when the aroma of freshly brewed coffee hit her nostrils.
She tossed in her bed as it felt too comfortable and warm to leave. She turned to her right to see a bag on the chair. Ruth frowned, seeing the neatly folded clothes and some other essentials around it.
Ruth saw Mrs Payne coming out of the kitchen with some more clothes in her hands while she muttered something incoherently.
Ruth sat up in the bed with a big question mark on her face.
"Good morn-"
"Oh! Hush, woman! You scared me!!" Ruth's voice startled Mrs Payne that she literally jumped in fright.
"Erm... sorry!" Ruth gave her a sheepish smile.
