At first, Ruby Gregory was a little nervous and excited, waiting for Steve Burton's reply. Could it be that the confusion hidden deep in her heart for three years, a full three years, was about to be resolved?
However, as time went by, there was still no reply from Steve. She slowly started to feel a sense of unease.
Had her message hit a raw nerve?
Why bring up the incident from three years ago that had made him so furious?
Her mom told her that regardless of the difficulties, they'd managed to get through the past. She urged her not to obsess over it...
But why did she impulsively ask about his past?
Ruby Gregory started to panic and looked for a way to shift the topic or mend things, yet she didn't know how. Spotting a cup of milk in a thermos, she instinctively sent a message to Steve:[Do you want some milk?]
Upon sending the message, Ruby felt that her attempt to change the topic and rectify the situation was overly clumsy.
Steve Burton definitely wouldn't reply to her.
