“Hey…”

Ruby immediately knew what was up once she saw the look on your face. It really has been that long, hasn’t it? She can understand your anguish and pain. Of course she’d be there for you every step of the way.

Stepping closer, she places her hands on your shoulders. “We can do whatever you want today… You can vent, cry, or even talk about them. No matter what, I’ll be there.” She gives a tender, comforting smile. It was a silent promise.
