Ruth and Tommy walked silently to his factory.Tommy didn't utter a word since she told him her past.It made her a little nervous but she refused to say anything
Tommy without saying anything slammed open the door to the factory when they reached.Ruth followed behind him.Tommy stopped again at the entrance so that she could see it all
Ruth walked forward and stared at her surroundings.Big barrels holding different types of gin were placed around,steam raising from the machines that were making them.
Ruth looked around with fascination.She always wanted to start a chain of her own.For a moment there tommy forgot everything.He stared at her eyes,they were glowing with fascination.
Tommy walked towards her and followed behind her while she looked
"It's amazing"is all she could say.Tommy almost smiled at her comment but kept his control.
"Let's show you the finished product"tommy walked past her to take her to a table kept in the corner with many glistening bottles of gin kept on them.
Tommy nudged her to pick a bottle up.Ruth carefully picked up one and looked at it
"Gin.Distilled for the eradication of seemingly incurable sadness?"Ruth huffed in amusement
"Impressive Mr Shelby"she looked back at him
"Tommy"
"What?"she furrowed her eyebrows
"Just call me Tommy.Friends do"
"Now I'm your friend?"she teased and he huffed out a frustrated breath making her chuckle a little
Tommy took our two glasses from his cabinet.He poured her some gin and gave her,her glass.
He raised his glass offering her to do a toast.
"Very well.To those who have seen us at our best and at our worst,Yet still cant tell the difference"tommy nodded and clinked his glass with hers and they both took a sip of the liquid
"Good toast"
"Hmm I know.My father used to say that at every occasion.I used to tell him not to repeat it all the time but he used to say that 'it's a lesson'"she sighed leaning against the table.
"He was right.It is a lesson"Ruth nodded simply.A comfortable silence took over them both.Ruth could feel Tommy's eyes on her.Yet she didn't say anything
"Did you like the gin?"tommy asked gulping his drink at once.Ruth looked down at the glass and nodded
"It's nice"
"Too sweet don't you think?"tommy walked to her and stood in front of her.Ruth shook her head
"Well it's a good drink to get a break from the bitter liquid once"tommy smirked at her comment.It was just the appropriate answer
