Still with the serious. What was this? She didn't know, but he was messing with the coller of the shirt she wore. He was smiling, ducking his head when she messed with his hair. It couldn't be anything bad could it. But then he was going on about some big important talk. How big and important a talk could they have after everything they'd been through. She'd thought things were getting back to normal finally but maybe they hadn't. Maybe he still had worries, doubts. He was saying he loved her, that was a step in the right direction wasn't it. Unless it was one of those 'I love you but' scenarios. She really hoped he wasn't about to do something like that to her. She didn't think she could take it after everything else that had happened lately.
Come a long way. She supposed they had. But what did he mean it wasn't enough for him. He needed more. More than what? If he loved her. Her eyes widened, a dozen scenarios running through her head. He felt like he needed more. The words confused her. "Something else?" she said quietly looking back at him. "What do you mean something else? Do I not make you happy? Am I doing something wrong? You said everything was okay? You said everything would be better again. I don't understand, if you love me then what do you need different."
Ruby looked down, she didn't think he was going to leave her. Not after saying he loved her. But she didn't understand what she was doing wrong. "Am I not making you happy?" she asked him sadly. He still looked so tense, so uneasy.
