Steve Burton waited for Ruby Gregory to sit down before turning his head to look at her.
Ruby felt puzzled by Steve's piercing gaze and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Only then did Steve blink, his tone calm and revealing no trace of vulnerability, "Why did it take you so long to come back?"
Ruby, hearing Steve's familiar tone, relaxed and gave him a shallow smile, "Madeleine was feeling a bit down, so I talked with her for a while."
"Hmm." Steve nodded slowly as if he believed Ruby's words, picked up his glass of alcohol, and took a slow sip. However, his fingers gripping the glass appeared to be applying a bit more force than necessary.
