Ruby Gregory relayed to Steve Burton everything the doctor had told her. After doing so, she put all the medicines into a bag. Then she lifted her head, looking at Steve whose gaze remained fixed on her.
When Ruby was little, she would always stare at him with her big, black, innocent eyes, without shyness or fear. However, when she grew up and started to go out of her way to please him in hope of marriage, she became afraid to meet his eyes, for fear that he might see through her intentions. But now, all her reservations were gone. As their eyes met, she hesitated slightly, then looked straight into Steve's eyes.
In the depths of his unfathomable, dark eyes, there was such a bright, dazzling light that it attracted Ruby and she couldn't look away. For a moment, her mind went blank, forgetting what she was meant to say next.
Steve only regained his wits when the soft, warm voice at his ear ceased. He then found Ruby's clear, beautiful eyes gazing straight at him.
