As Stefan and Ruby made their way to his apartment, with Stefan carrying their luggage, they both felt the stress of the last two days catch up with them and they couldn't wait to get some rest.

The moment they opened the door and walked in, they exchanged a look when they saw that the lights were on, and immediately, Stefan could guess that his parents were inside the house.

"My parents are in," he murmured to Ruby.

"They probably saw the news and are worried about you," she said but he could tell she was anxious since they were yet to resolve the issue with his parents.

"Don't worry, Rub. I'm sure they're not here to talk about us living together," he said and Ruby flashed him a small smile.

"It doesn't matter," Ruby said as she continued for the living room, leaving Stefan to follow her.
