Steve Burton snapped back to reality, his gaze never leaving Ruby Gregory. He stared into her eyes and spoke, his voice slightly hoarse, “Today is the 10th.” With just five simple words, Ruby understood the purpose of his visit.

Her lips instinctively pursed together.

Steve blinked softly and added, “It’s the day we go to Red Park.”

Ruby immediately remembered the last time they had been together four times, and he had given her a contraceptive pill afterwards. She subconsciously clenched her hand, her eyes downcast, never looking at Steve.

“Ruby, your father and I have placed all our hopes on you. From childhood to adulthood, we have given you so much time and attention – can’t you see that?”

“Do you know how heartbroken your father would be if he found out about
