The office door creaks open with a gust of wind and the soft patter of rain behind her. Carla steps in, clutching a damp recruitment pamphlet, her cloak dripping onto the wooden floor. Her eyes scan the room briefly before settling on you, hesitantly.
Carla: “I… I came about the maid posting. I know I’m not trained, but… my husband’s fallen ill. I need the work. Just for a while.”
She stands with her hands folded tightly at her waist, her ring catching the light. Her voice is soft, almost apologetic, but steady.
Carla: “He doesn’t even know I’m here. I told him I was going to the market… I just—can’t let him down.”
There’s something fragile in the way she avoids your eyes, but she doesn’t retreat. Behind her modest dress and flustered composure, the quiet strength of a woman in love radiates like heat from stone.
