I made it to work in time, and went through early morning inventory. I comforted an employee who was distraught about a scheduled shift, and I brought Ruby her breakfast .

"Darlin', you look whipped," she said, shaking her head from side to side. Occasionally her southern roots surfaced and she lapsed into the vernacular .

Whipped. Heh. If she only knew .

"Sooo. Tired," I said, pushing her teacup to her on the table. "How are you ?"

"Oh, I'm good," Rub answered, fixing me with a serious eye. "And why, pray tell, are you so tired? Anything I should know about ?"

Ha. Only everything .

"Nah, it’s nothing." I wanted to tell her about him so badly. I wanted her to know how insanely hot he was. I wanted to squeal with her about how well he treated me, and how he called me baby .

But it would be best if she did not know. She blinked, and then her face broke out into a slow, shit-eating grin. "Nothing?" she asked. "Sugar, you think I was born yesterday ?"

I felt my cheeks flush with heat, and she stared at me. "Come here," she whispered, gesturing for me to bend over so she could whisper in my ear. "Is this the same gentleman caller as yesterday ?"

Her old-fashioned phrases tickled me, but this time I just squirmed. I looked around me, knowing Agatha wouldn't be anywhere in the vicinity yet, but it felt as if the very walls were her spies .

"Hush, Ruby," I told her, looking around me wildly .

"Don't you hush me," she said. "I want you to tell me what's going on. I just want to know is all. Is that too much to ask for a little old lady? Hmmm ?"

"Yes," I hissed, flicking open the menu and pointing to it. "Now tell me what you want for breakfast ."

She laughed, and I watched as her wrinkled skin sagged around her mouth and lips, betraying her age, but her eyes were as young as ever. "It's Thursday, honey," she said. "Why would you ask me what I want for breakfast on Thursday ?"

I blinked at her for a moment before it dawned on me. "I'm so sorry. I'm just tired today, Ruby. You want the stuffed pancakes with pecans and maple butter, and the strawberry compote on the side, right ?"

She grinned. "Of course. You sure you don't have a good reason to be tired?" Her face fell a bit and I smiled at her for a moment. Fine, then. I leaned in closer .

"I do, Ruby," I whispered. "I do have a good reason. And I'll tell you everything but I have to wait until the time is right, okay ?"

Her eyes met mine in solidarity before she nodded and patted my shoulder. “Of course, Gabriella. Now go get me my breakfast ."

I flashed a smile, and trotted to go get her breakfast, but I froze when I entered the kitchen. My step sisters were leaning against the large, butcher-block table, poring over a catalog .
