I stand in my office, looking at the closed door, having watched Ruby walk from the room. What had that been? There had been something in that gaze, I am sure of it. And I don’t just mean from her. My heart was racing the moment her chocolatey brown eyes locked with mine. She is beautiful, I knew that the first time I met her back at Crimson Night Pack. But I had not thought of her in any way other than as a friend, especially when I had heard she had lost her mate.

But I swear that was weird. I can't be thinking anything more than friends anyway....
