Ruby walked past the small kitchen area in her apartment for the fifth time, her gaze sharpening as she spotted Evie preparing the noodles they were about to eat. With one ear pressed to the phone, her neck tilted as she conversed with Ezra, Ruby had just realized how close they had become. Sure, Evie and Ezra were in a relationship, but they seemed even closer now. Moments ago, Evie had been chatting away with him, and now she was multitasking in the kitchen.
And Ruby was sticking around to eavesdrop on them.
"Are you two about to have dinner?" Ezra asked, picking up on the conversation from Evie's end.
Evie raised her eyebrows, stirring the noodles with chopsticks. "Yeah?"
"What are you planning to eat?" Ezra pressed on.
"Noodles," Evie replied calmly as she covered the pot and leaned back against the cupboard, the phone still held to her ear. She caught Ruby's watchful gaze and smirked.
