Madeleine didn't give Ruby Gregory any chance to react before turning and walking into the restroom.
However, Ruby still saw through the bright, wide mirror in front of her that when Madeleine turned her back, tears welled up in her eyes again. Under the bathroom lights, those teardrops glistened, almost blindingly so.
It took Ruby a while to come back to her senses. She couldn't say why, but in that moment, her mood had turned exceptionally heavy.
Madeleine said that she was different from Ruby; she had desperately wanted to marry Steve Burton for the sake of the Gregorys, whereas Ruby had done it for love.
So why had Steve married her?
And, had she really married Steve just for the sake of the Gregorys?
These had once been very clear questions for her, but now, she found herself somewhat uncertain.
Ruby stood still for a while longer before swallowing and slowly turning around to leave the restroom.
