It was just a normal day at work, busy as usual for Ruby. She heard the door bell jingle, and looked up to see a young brunette walk in. She recognized her- Belle.
"Hi!" Belle said as she walked past Ruby and went to a booth at the back.
"Hi," Ruby whispered back.
All of a sudden, Belle stood up and announced,"There will be a grand opening for the library tonight at six everyone! Please come and tell your friends!"
Ruby decided she would go as soon as Belle was done speaking. She did, after all, have a little bit of a crush on the blue eyed angel. As Ruby imagined what it would be like to kiss Belle, Granny came up and smacked the back of her head. "Work, Ruby," she growled. Belle laughed.

As she walked up to the library, Ruby thought that maybe it wasn't the best idea to go. She was almost an hour late, but she still went in. When she opened the door, she heard sobbing. "Belle?" she called out.
No response.
She went up to the office to find Belle with a box of tissues and mascara running down her face. "Belle, what's wrong?"
Through sniffles she heard Belle whisper,"No one came."
"I came."
"Only you. No one else. Not even Rumple."
"Didn't you call it off with him?"
"Yeah, but he said he would change and that he still loved me, so I at least expected him to come. I'm surprised even you showed up."
"Why wouldn't I?"
"I don't know, I just don't know you that well."
"Yeah, but you know me well enough to know that I wouldn't leave anyone alone," Ruby awkwardly laughed. Too awkwardly.
"That's true."
"Come on," Ruby said, extending her arm. "Say to me what you were going to say to everyone else."
