Steve Burton wrapped Ruby Gregory in a towel, wiped her body dry, carried her out of the bathroom, and used a hairdryer to dry her hair.
By the time he was halfway done drying her hair, Ruby had already slumped onto his legs and fallen fast asleep.
Steve turned the hairdryer down two notches and quickly dried her long hair. He then gently carried her to the bed, pulled the covers up, and tucked her in.
Steve leaned against the pillows, watching TV for a while before remembering something. He lifted the covers, got out of bed, walked to the couch, and picked up Ruby's handbag. He rummaged inside for a moment and found a pain relief tablet sheet.
On the sheet, there was nothing left—the two capsules that were originally there had already been taken.
Steve stared at the empty sheet for a long time before turning his gaze to Ruby, who was fast asleep on the bed.
Could it be that she always took two pain relief tablets before they made love?
