Since Ruby had to work the next day, and the night was cool, she didn't stay long and returned to her bedroom.
As she laid down on the bed once again, the inexplicable irritability and anxiety she felt earlier were gone. In their place was an indescribable sense of sweetness.

After sending it, Ruby added another line:[Thank you for the snacks.]

Steve was still standing on the balcony, not yet returning to his bedroom.
The night was cold as there was no moon, making the stars in the sky appear even brighter.
