Ruby Gregory thought the reason Steve Burton's head hurt might be because of the alcohol.
The hotel had a fully equipped kitchenette, where she found half a watermelon. She scooped out the flesh, then painstakingly removed the seeds one by one. She put the flesh in a juicer, and brought the freshly squeezed watermelon juice to the bedroom.
Steve had his eyes closed and didn't open them until Ruby put the juice on the bedside table. She hesitated whether she should call him or not.
Since she returned, they had met several times, but she'd never dared to observe him closely.
He seemed more mature and stable than when he gave her gifts three years ago, his features were more profound, and the noble air between his brows made him more unapproachable.
Just as Ruby was staring at him, Steve opened his eyes suddenly as if he had sensed something.
Ruby's body shuddered, and she quickly looked away, handing the watermelon juice to Steve, "This can relieve the effects of alcohol."
