A Calm Night

Ruby carefully got off Rudy's lap, a mixture of embarrassment and irritation visible on her face. "I've had enough for today," she stated firmly, avoiding eye contact with Rudy. "I'm heading to my room to sleep."

Rudy, undeterred, leaned back on the couch, one arm draped casually over the backrest. "We can continue where we left off once I've dropped Alice off," he suggested with a playful smirk.

Ruby didn't even spare him a glance. "You'll have to wait until I'm in the mood again," she retorted before walking away, her steps echoing faintly in the hallway.

Rudy couldn't help but groan at her response. He got up from the couch, his attention now focused on Alice. He extended a hand to help her up, looking at her warmly. "Are you ready?"

Alice nodded in response, her nerves still palpable. In an instant, they teleported and appeared in Alice's room, the scene of her familiar surroundings filling Rudy's senses.
