Dedications

Ruby's curiosity grew as she continued to scan the darkened entrance, her eyes locked on the elusive silhouette. The tension in the room heightened until, with a gentle swish, a figure emerged from the shadows into the pool of light.

It was Alice.

Ruby couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in response to Alice's appearance. Her presence at this particular moment seemed a little too coincidental. Without uttering a word, Ruby smoothly slid off Rudy's lap and gracefully adjusted herself beside him.

Alice, noticing Ruby's silent reaction, offered a small, apologetic smile. "I didn't mean to disturb you two," she began, her voice calm and composed. "I was simply searching for Rudy and followed where the hallway led me."

Ruby eyed Alice, assessing her carefully. The explanation seemed plausible, and Alice's demeanor appeared innocent enough. However, Ruby remained silent, choosing to keep her thoughts to herself for now.
