Blair finished her phone call and said the werewolves would be here in a few hours. In the meantime, she suggested Ash go out into the woods to release some steam before he destroyed her building.
He couldn't really blame her for that so off he went. He couldn't destroy the trees though because of how much Ruby loved them. She had told him all about redwoods as they worked in the gardens one day.
The way her eyes lit up when she talked about plants brought peace to his chaotic soul. It had from the very beginning, though he hadn't realized it then.
Ruby invaded his heart slowly like a weed breaking through cracks in the sidewalk. She broke down his defenses slowly but surely until he was able to care about another fae again. He would do anything to see her again.
