There was so much relief in seeing his face that she couldn't quite pin down the source. She assumed it had entirely to do with finding herself in a strange, new place unexpectedly for the first time in as long as she could remember and still winding up there with a familiar face. One she knew could be depended upon for protection, even if said face happened to belong to someone she had spent weeks believing was dead. She wanted to ask what had happened but there were too many thoughts, too much initial fear in that moment for her to get it all straight.

When he turned toward her and she saw that it was actually him, heard his voice and listened to him speak her name, she crossed the distance to stand next to him, thinking that, somehow, proximity might make them all the safer. "I'm so relieved to see you," she told him, smiling a little shakily as she exhaled. "What is this place? I was walking out the door at the diner and then I was just... Here."

It was certainly a more swank hotel than Ruby had ever stayed in, she was certain, and since Granny ran the only bed and breakfast in town she was positive she was far from home. It was what she wanted, of course, exactly what she'd promised Granny she was going to do when she was storming out of the diner, but this was so foreign and unexpected and sudden. Ruby suddenly felt like a very small fish in a very large pond, and she looked around, worrying at her bottom lip. "I don't have much money or anything, and we have to be far from home, don't you think?"
