In The Red Kingdom...
Throughout that night, after the young, fine man had returned to the Predor Kingdom, and Seth left her with the look he had on his face...Ruby could not get any sleep. She turned and rotated on her bed.
[Why had Seth left like that?], she thought.
After a while... Ruby peeped outside, through her window. She noticed that the moon was beginning to return to where it hides through the day, and she knew that morning was approaching.
"I have not slept!", Ruby muttered.
She hated it when she had nights like this.
Ruby raked her mind. She allowed the happenings of earlier that day to play through her mind as she thought of what may have made Seth that way before he left.
She had felt a strong attraction towards him just a few moments before he left. When she had that feeling, Ruby could not wait for the man she ad been talking with to leave.
