I had an argument with Ruby. A bad one.
We were doing the dishes after dinner when I refused to dry a plate. It escalated quickly. It turns out Ruby's really upset that I'm going away.
Since both our moms are not around, I've played a big part in Ruby's life.
She thinks I'm leaving her.
It's not like we can't stay in touch, but we're so used to being around one another. Even at Signal, we hung out a lot. I'm going to Beacon before she returns to Signal, too.
I'm really sorry, Ruby. She's shut herself up in her room, Dad's speaking to her now. I'll do my best to patch things up when she wants to talk.
