"The screens get smudged so easily," Ruby added immediately, a smile small but still edging her lips, even as he exclaimed his upset over the phone. Her immediate like of him seemed to be almost an elemental thing, somewhere on a level inside herself so primitive that she couldn't even begin to rationalize it.

"If you think that might help, I could scare one up for you?"
His smile was utterly dazzling and filled her with such warmth that she momentarily forgot what her line of thought was in favor of smiling back at him, entirely charmed. "Aren't you the cutest?" She said, still grinning. "Goodness."
