"There's no need to go to such trouble, Mrs. Lewis Senior. You can just drop me off at a bus station. I'll take the bus home," Teresa said.

"That won't do!" Anna said. Then, something occurred to her. "I remember you came with your husband, right? Where is he? Why did he leave you alone here? There aren't any bus stations nearby or anything."

Teresa felt a little awkward at the mention of Eric. Still, it wasn't appropriate to talk about her problems to an outsider.
