Devanna Evans, a girl of 24 arrives at the station in London. Loaded with bags she tries to struggle carrying them. Due to heavy luggage, she trips over them and falls on the ground with a thud. She sees a man at the station gate wearing a black jacket and a cap.
She waves at him for help. but her help cry fails to reach him. The man then turns back and sees her struggling.
"May I help you miss?"
Devanna ignores his help and tries to pick her luggage by herself.
"Let it be please! You wont be able to take the weight of your bags." He tries to pick her bags and grunts, "Ahh what do you even carry so heavy in here!"
"Clothes and Frames." Devanna replies feeling embarassed.
"Frames? Huh? Never heard anyone carry frames along with them! This is new".
"I am an artist! I paint!"
"Oh I see !Just for your information, my name is Maurice Thomas" He introduces herself.
"Devanna Evans"
"Pretty name! You mind I take you to the best place nearby for a coffee because you look tired."
"Any place where I would be able to rest these luggage! That's fine!" Devanna hands him one of her bags.
"Lets go!"

"So Miss Evans Where are you from?" Maurice looks at her with keen eyes.
"Scotland! You?"
"Bangkok! You mind if i call you Dev you can call me Mau!"
"Ah sure! Well Maurice isn't a bad name itself."
"Pretty long ! I prefer short and simple!" Maurice laughs and offers her the menu card.
"Alight!"
A girl walks in from behind taps on Maurice's back
"Maurice! I thought you would be getting the car fixed? I am surprised seeing you here! And May I know who is she?"
"She is Devanna, new to London!" Maurice gets up and faces Scarlet, his girlfriend.
"Well I never knew when did you switch your job from a lawyer to a tourist guide! Let her figure out her own stuff! She is not a kid!"
"That's just being mean! Scar we don't behave this way! Remember when you shifted here from California?"
"Whatever! I don't really want you to bother yourself for a stranger! Let her find her way out! Not to forget we need to leave!" Scarlet drags Maurice towards exit gate.
