At this moment, Christopher Moore is working overtime.
"Hmm?"
"Miss me?"
Ruby Mercer listens to his teasing voice, her mood instantly improves.
"In your dreams!"
Christopher, "Have you eaten?"
"I'm coming over to pick you up now!"
Ruby is taken aback, "Do you know where I am?"
Christopher laughs softly, "Of course!"
Ruby hears the sound of him closing a door on his side, "Did you have someone follow me?"
Christopher evades the question, "I'll be there in twenty minutes!"
"Be good and wait for me!"
Ruby smiles, guessing that his unspoken answer is: Yes!
She comes downstairs, and outside, the sky is completely dark.
She has already had dinner, but if she's with him, she can eat a bit more!
Outside the Mercer Group building, the evening breeze is gentle.
The air while waiting for Christopher is sweet.
This must be what being in love feels like!
She never experienced it before, but now, at twenty-four, it seems not too late.
