Steve Burton, in his hotel room in Angria, Los Angeles, recalled the scene where he held Ruby Gregory in his arms, tears streaming down his face; the image so beautiful that it was hard for him to look straight at it. He couldn't help but pick up the pillow behind him and smash it hard against the television in front of him. Feeling that it was not enough, he grabbed another pillow and hammered it against the bed until his emotions calmed down a bit. Finally, he collapsed on the bed and rubbed his slightly aching head with his hand.
Setting aside the scene of him shedding tears in front of Ruby, which he found somewhat humiliating and shameful, what truly troubled him lately was his confession.
Ruby was about to marry Edric Reat, and she was carrying his child. As Rusell Henris told him that night, he couldn't accept this fact but had to. Continuing to treat Ruby well would only cause more trouble for her.
