Being called out for shouting at him only made her feel worse. "I wasn't shoutin'! I was just trying to be 'eard over 'er!" she defended herself. "Shush..." she rocked Lucy. Then Sam began to cry as well and Ruth felt very tempted to shout at him as well. Ugh. She really needed a drink. "Thanks." She said. Perhaps she could just leave them here with Crane and move town. She was very tempted to do it right now. Lucy wouldn't stop crying. "I said shush!"

The baby cried louder.
