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.”
