It was stupid of Ruby to even think this way. She was only projecting her desires for a home and family onto the one fae who had shown her any true kindness in decades.
If she ever got out of here, she would finish their deal and they would go their separate ways. She wondered what would be considered too often regarding visits provided Ash even wanted to see her again after this.
They cared about each other to some extent but it was no more than that. It could never be more than that, even if she did want it.
Ruby had to shake those ridiculous thoughts free. Even if she wanted it? Wanted what, a romantic relationship with Ash? Sure, they had kissed, but it was only a peck to get Flint off their tail. He hadn't even been flustered by it so it obviously didn't mean anything to him.
What was she thinking?! It didn't mean anything to her either!
