when ruby envisioned her life with aasim, what it had turned into had not been what she’d expected or necessarily wanted. yes, she’d wanted a family with him—having as many kids as they had wasn’t the problem—and no, she didn’t mind that he had to take time for his work, but she was busy too and still had to take care of everything else.
she’d tried to be patient with him, tried to be understanding—but a woman could only take so much. the stress of her job, of raising their kids, and fearing over whether or not her marriage of nearly two decades was finally crumbling weighed on her too heavily. she wasn’t sure how much more she could take.
when aasim had dismissed her that night when she tried to get him to come to bed, the tone he’d used at that, she found herself sighing and shaking her head; begrudgingly resigned to the apparent fate they had waiting for them.
“ can only be another sign, ” she muttered, more to herself than to aasim, though it was said loud enough that he could hear if he was paying attention. “ i cannot keep what isn’t mine… ”

a sigh passed ruby’s lips as she looked aasim over, brow furrowing in concentration. without a second thought, she reached out to take his chin in her hand, tilting his head to observe the laceration across his cheek.
“ how many times do i hafta tell ya to be careful, huh ? ” she tutted, tone half-hearted. there’s a concerned softness to her words. “ how’d you say this happened again ? ” either way, she knew it had to be cleaned, taking a damp cloth to clean the blood away.
releasing his chin from her grasp, she turned to grab her hand-made chamomille ointment, scooping up a small amount on her index and middle fingers before turning back to face him.
“ now try to hold still; this might sting a li’l but it’ll help. ”

ruby loved the greenhouse. it was peaceful; she was in her element, and she genuinely enjoyed caring for her plants and helping them thrive. still, it was always best to go with someone rather than alone since, with today’s world, one never really knew what to expect. typically, she went with brody or violet which was nice because brody was one of her closest friends and violet was nice and quiet and didn’t give her any shit. today, however, she’d gotten paired with louis, and she loved louis, she really did; he was a good friend to her. … but the boy could talk.
she was torn away from her thoughts as louis tried to engage her in conversation. it took her a moment to register the conversation he was trying to broach, and her cheeks tinged red—a rosier hue than usual. quickly, her gaze averted his, and she intently focused on the herb before her.
“ listen— i ain’t too keen on talkin’ about my…’love life’ with you right now, louis, ” she explained a little hotly, embarrassed. “ you don’t see me askin’ about yours, do ya ? ”

ruby was a caring person by nature. she’d hardly gotten the love and care from her own parents, but being a caretaker just came naturally to her. she’d taken well to learning all things medicinal from ms. martin and it had just stuck with her. taking care of people and plants had been therapeutic for her in a way, and while she knew that her concerned doting could get on her peers’ nerves, it was hard for her to hold back at times.
“ y’know, sug, ” she told arvo, glancing him over with a polite, albeit wary smile, “ you can just help me in the greenhouse today if ya want. might be best ya don’t overexert yourself with that leg, anyway. ” not that she would force him to help her if he didn’t want to, but she still wanted to put the offer out there.
“I can’t believe I’m doing this.” [ for ruby from aasim ]
“ oh, hush, ” ruby tuts, half-heartedly. “ you’re doin’ fine, you’re just a l’il…stiff. loosen up. ”
her fingers flex and regrip against his shoulders as she peers up at him. they’re dancing. or, they’re trying to but ruby has the sneaking suspicion that aasim would rather be doing anything but.
there’s a brief pause before she’s raising an eyebrow and asking, “ or is that your round about way of tellin’ me that you don’t want to dance with me ? ” her tone is accusatory, but she won’t stop him if he really doesn’t want to do this.

scenario: [ james has a ridiculous injury that he doesn't want to explain to ruby. ]
“ you know i ain’t gonna judge you, right ? ” ruby says after a minute, placing her hands on her hips as she continues to observe the injury in question. “ not to pry or nothin’, but you can tell me what happened. it can stay just between us. ”
