The smile that Ruby Gregory had been wearing, imagining Steve Burton's reaction to learning that the triplets were his, had been frozen upon hearing Lady Gregory's words, "Steve Burton, going on a blind date?"
Only upon hearing Ruby's words did Lady Gregory notice the change in her daughter's complexion. It took her a while to respond, and then, with a touch of concern, she asked, "Ruby, you wouldn't be upset about Steve going on a blind date, would you?"
Ruby Gregory did not reply.
Lady Gregory couldn't help but console her daughter a few times.
Ruby, however, had no mood to listen. She merely shook her head, forced a smile, assuring she was fine, then joined Lady Gregory for dinner.
After dinner, Lady Gregory suggested Ruby stay the night. Ruby, however, was preoccupied with Steve's blind date. Agitated, she saw that Steve's car had not returned to the mansion and insisted on going back to the city.
