She heard him come in from where she'd shut herself in their bedroom thinking of just how she was going to put this. Things had been good lately, so good that she wondered sometimes if maybe they were finally fully back on track from all her betrayals. But there was one more. Just one more, and she knew in her heart she'd have to tell him. There was no other choice but to tell him because what else was she going to do, go on happy and wait for Azazel to make his move. Because he would make a move. And Ruby, scared as she was for Sam and his family knew that she had to be honest with them here. That was how family worked. That was what Sam had taught her lately. No more lies. No more hidden secrets. None of that. She stood up finally, stepping from the bedroom into the living room. And Sam was in the kitchen. With a case of beer. Yeah he'd need that. She stepped into his line of vision taking in every inch of the man she'd missed for the last few days. The love of her life and the reason she hadn't simply submitted to Azazel's will when she'd seen him that first night. Her Sam.
And now she had to disappoint him one more time. She hoped their relationship could take it.
"...Azazel's back" she blurted out before she lost all nerve and ran screaming for the hills. It was done now, he knew and now they'd have to protect his family. If Sam even still wanted to be with her after this. "He looks like your Grandfather, its a witches Glamour and he...he made me promise not to say it. Because if I did, he said he'd kill John and Mary and it'd be on my hands, but the truth is it's gonna be either way isn't it. Cause he's the ultimate betrayal to you, he was my mentor and thats still the one thing that keeps you from accepting that my past was part of me because its him and everything he did I..."
She was babbling, rambling, getting it all out in one steady stream of traumatised babble. It was out there now for all the world to see and know about and here was the worrying bit. His reaction. What would he do, would he walk out and leave her, would he cry, rage, spout latin, go for her blood in a fit of anger. In truth, Ruby wasn't sure how this would go. She leaned against the wall uncomfortable in the silence that always surrounded them every time she disappointed Sam. And it happened far too often for her liking. But she couldn't help but be terrified, for his family, for the city. And for them.
"Please don't leave me, I couldn't...I don't know what I'd do if you did?" she told him knowing how very pathetic it sounded but knowing also that it was true. Every word of it. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry and you know I didn't keep the secret for him. I...I kept it for you. Your family. I didn't know what to do for the best but I know its right to tell you. I know."
