In the underground parking garage, Steve Burton opened the passenger seat door for Ruby Gregory. Ruby remembered that Madeleine had told her that Steve really hated having someone sit in the passenger seat. She glanced at the door to the back seat and then at Steve, who had already opened the passenger seat. After hesitating for a moment, Ruby finally climbed into the passenger seat.
As she fastened her seatbelt, she kept watching Steve's expression in the rearview mirror, only to find that his face never showed any displeasure. It was then that she felt reassured.
As the car drove out of the city and smoothly headed towards the West Suburb Villa District, Steve turned on the car's music, allowing the melodious songs to surround the entire cabin.
Although they didn't talk much during the journey when Steve drove Ruby home, she could still feel that his mood wasn't bad.
She also vaguely knew that it was her request for him to drive her home that had pleased him.
