Chapter 23: I'll Let You Get Lost (3)

Ruby Gregory pulled down her collar a little, looking into the car mirror, she saw the bite mark left by Steve Burton on her neck, now discolored to a blue-purple hue. She gently pressed her fingers against it, feeling a sharp pain.

Startled, Ruby withdrew her hand, then thought about how her parents' eyes lit up with excitement and happiness when they found out that she and Steve were going to Red Park tonight.

At that time, her dad couldn't stop grinning, telling her mom, "I knew it, our Ruby is so beautiful, and she has so many years of affection with Steve. There's no way he doesn't have a place for her in his heart."

If she went back home now, they'd probably be disappointed and heartbroken again, wouldn't they?

If she were pregnant, she'd still have a glimmer of hope. If not, what would she do?
