Ruby Gregory suddenly thought of a phrase, lovers who break up can still be friends, if they either never loved each other or they still love each other deeply.
So, after they separated, she couldn't just cut ties with him completely, never to interact again, because deep in her heart, just like him, she couldn't bear to just let it end like that.
He said, "If you like me, I'll let you know I like you, too. If you don't like me, I'll never let you know I like you even if it kills me. It's just my little pride getting in the way."
Actually, he was like that, and she was no different.
She didn't allow herself to face the fact that she liked him, because she wasn't sure whether he liked her or not, so she kept running away from it, right?
Ruby Gregory, since getting pregnant, always made sure to rest no matter what happened, but tonight, she couldn't sleep.
She lay in bed, alone, silently thinking about many things.
