Sam happily watched Ruby turn on the spot, savoring every last inch of the display she was putting on. Her legs, her chest, the tight fit of the leather riding her skin. A low whistle erupted from a passing stranger, causing an unpleasant feeling to slip in among the warm and fuzzy that had been carrying Sam along up until now. Almost like someone had flipped a switch, Sam snapped a cold glare in the strangers direction and took Ruby's offered arm. That was the thing about being in public with her dressed like this. People were bound to notice. The view was nice, but Sam really didn't want to be beating men (and women?) off with a stick. Not that he didn't trust Ruby to stick with him, but people were crazy. "You look -" Sam swayed a little. "- you're really attractive. To me." Sam ducked his head. Words. He really knew how to use them. "Right now, especially." He'd be the first one to give Ruby credit later. She really did know how to distract a guy from his problems.
Home. She wanted him to come home with her. A hopeful look lit his features up and Sam immediately nodded. He hadn't been there in a while. He missed their apartment. Being in bed with her, sharing the same kitchen, the same everything. Sam missed that. He missed her. "Yeah! I wanna go with you. I wanted to go with you before, too, but I couldn't." Sam frowned. Then he offered her his whiskey. "Hold this. I gotta...I gotta go get..." He turned a little, pulled his arm away from her own, and fell on a knee. Seeing as he was going for the phone that he had dropped on the ground earlier, Sam felt that the falling thing was okay. Even if his knee kinda hurt. Sam grabbed the phone and slowly began to stand upright again. "I need my phone," Sam explained, clumsily shoving it into his pocket. He had a month or so before the company would get on his ass about a phone bill. Sam didn't want to throw it away just yet.
"Are we...which way is home right now?" Sam stopped once he was on his feet again. Her outfit. He couldn't stop staring. "I like it when you dress up for me," he told her, sending a faint smile her way. "You're the best, Ruby. The best."
