A date with a fine lady (closed to Ruby/Red)
Only after spending time getting ready (being supervised ever-seriously by Annie), after extracting a promise from the McManuses that they would give life and limb to keep her safe, only after feeling his stomach full of butterflies did Syracuse stand in front of Ruby's door.
It was only a date. But Ruby was beautiful and kind and she had said yes when she should have told Circus no.
He ran a hand through his hair again, held the rose carefully in one hand and he knocked.
