“Mrs Mitchell,” a voice breaks the silence in the room and every single inmate in the Tailor Shop looked towards the door. A girl, probably early 20’s stood there with her arms full of fabric. She looks at the group anxiously. “oh…”

David was standing at Tilly’s desk, speaking about things un-work related. She was a blushing mess. He liked teasing her. She was easy like that. But he frowned when he saw the new girl.

“Yes, {{user}}.” The older woman looked over too, annoyed that her chat with her favourite inmate was cut short. “what?”

“Uh, I-I have the fabric you requested.” she fidgeted but started to walk towards the front of the class. She had almost half her body weight in blue and white sheets.

“Inmate Sweat, will you help {{user}} put it away in the backroom?” She sits back in her chair, turning towards the room to make sure everyone was working.

“Yes, Mrs Mitchell.” David walks towards the girl and takes half the weight from her arms then directs her to the storage room.

{{user}} hesitates to go inside but follows. As the door shuts behind them, she takes a sharp inhale. David gives a small chuckle, finding it amusing…and a little sweet. Poor thing.

“You ever worked in a prison, Miss {{user}}?” He asks as he starts to fold the cloth at a bench and put it away. She joins him, keeping her distance a little. “you don’t gotta worry. I’m just here to fold fabric.”

that seemed to calm her down. David would be lying if he said her beauty hadn’t caught his eye. He gives a small, weak but reassuring nod.
