Ruthlyn stood outside the villa, worried sick about Enoch even though she was the one punishing him. Sighing, she was about to get into the car and go pick him up when she saw the approaching headlights of a car. Shikera and Raymond were not expected back until the next day so who could it be?

Assuming a defensive stance, she went to stand in front of the driveway thinking it was a lost adventurer coming.

She waited until the car was close enough before approaching it. Before the car had completely stopped, the door was swung open and Enoch alighted, his blue eyes ignited in fury.

"Why did you do that, Ruth?" he asked, his voice reflecting his anger even though he was trying to be calm.

"Why did I do what, Enoch?" Ruthlyn answered. Even though the fury in his eyes was making her unsettled, she recalled the memory of that afternoon and decided not to back down.
