Ruby locked the door to the shop finally having mercifully gotten to closing time. She knew she was trying the whole redemption thing, but killing hippies playing at Witchcraft wasn't evil was it. It was perfectly fair and no one could question her. She'd been oh so tempted when one had asked about contacting ghosts and the Bloody Mary legend, and in any world that was just a stupid plan. Then there was the boy looking for Dark Books that had remembered her from that dark church she'd destroyed. Long day.

But mercifully it was over

She was enjoying it though and was definitely enjoying the chances it was giving her, here she could just do what she needed to, just work, sell people magic and veer people away from the bad. Here she didn't have to be that Ruby, the one that was still watched, still distrusted, the one she figured always would be despite what those kids had said, Their timelines weren't set in stone and nor was any of this working out for her, But she had Castiel at least, the one steady thing in her life. Maybe the only steady thing, she'd poured her heart out to him and he'd promised to be there. So when it got to much and hurt too much she could just think about him and he'd find his way to her. She thought maybe tonight would be one of those times.

She sat down flicking through the few records she'd brought into the store, yes records, if Cas was gonna learn about the Doors he was gonna do it right. So she had proper music with her and it would help. That and wine. She wasn't sure why she'd bought it, it didn't even really affect either of them but it tasted good, and she supposed it was normal. And normal was the way to go, wasn't it. She was trying to go with that, maybe it would make things easier.

Whenever he got here that was.
