Ruthie woke up later that morning, for split second thinking that martin admitting his feelings and her not being able to have children was all a dream, and then it hit her, and hit her hard. She dragged herself out of bed and made her way to her wardrobe. She was in no mood to make an effort on her appearance and slung on a pair of sweats and a baggy grey top. She staggered out of her room and down the stairs, where her eyes caught attention of the crisp white not by the door. Ruthie had always been the nosey, sneaky one, she had to know anything and everything about everyone's life, and without hesitation she grabbed the note and stuffed it in her pocket unaware it was addressed to her.
Meanwhile martin was still driving, he was a good 160km away from her, the engine began to stall before completely giving out, he rested his head on the steering wheel, wondering whether admitting his feelings to Ruthie was the right thing to do. He couldn't imagine her disappearing from his life yet he couldn't face seeing her with another guy and eventually getting married to someone, that wasn't him.
Ruthie sat at the counter eating a bowl of lucky charms, when her cell began to ring, she had completely forgotten about the note, it was Mac.
"Morning sunshine."
"Hey not like you to be up this early Mac, what's wrong?"
"Oh I blame your admirer for that!"
"I have an admirer?"
"Obviously. Martin practically worships the ground you walk on!"
"Hmmm."
"Anyway just checking how you're feeling today"
"I'm alright; wait back to the whole blaming martin for you being up so early. What did he do?"
"Oh no biggie just called me in the middle of the night tearing himself up."
"Oh." About me?
"Exactly! I need my beauty sleep as well you know"
"Well you better get sleeping I want to see you beautiful in my lifetime!" Ruthie began to laugh it had been the first time a smile had appeared on her face since Wednesday
"Are you calling me ugly Ruthie Camden?" he was a little taken back by the accusation but he was happy that Ruthie was laughing again
"Noooooo of course not my beautiful little girl!"
"I'm a girl now am I? I'm not waking up this early again! All I seem to get is insults! Here's one for you… err... you're a err MEANY!"
"Hahahahah! I'm sorry Mac; you know I love you really and please practice your insulting skills!!"
"Well I'm going back to bed; call me if you want to hang out or something"
"Thanks Mac."
"Anytime! Meany!"
And with that she hung up the phone, with a grin plastered over her face. Martin was stranded no gas and no money, he hated asking people for help, especially Mac.
"Alright Meany?"
"Err Mac?"
"Oh sorry Martin I thought you were Ruthie"
"Why you calling her Meany"
"Ahh long story it involves a princess and beauty sleep"
"Right. Anyway want to help a friend in need?"
"Sure, what you want?"
"I'm stranded"
"Where?"
"You know bob's diner?"
"That's like 150 km away?!"
"yeah well about 10 km north from that"
"what you doing out there, especially at 8:30 in the morning"
"I went for a drive is that okay with you, mother."
"WHAT IS IT WITH THE GIRLY INSULTS?"
"So you gunna come get me or not?"
"I'll be there as quickly as I can."
"Thanks mate."
Martin sat in his car for three hours twiddling his thumbs whilst waiting for Mac I wonder if Ruthie's read the note. Just then he saw Mac pulling up. He got out of his car and greeted Mac with a hug "Thanks for this"
"Its okay" he handed martin a container of gas, "lets just go home please."
Back at the Camden's Ruthie was in the kitchen tapping her fingers on the counter, contemplating whether or not to call Mac and Martin to see if they wanted to go to the promenade. Just then she remembered the note in her pocket. She unfolded it carefully, instantly knowing who had wrote it, her mouth shaped to an "o" as the was reading, her eyes welling up, and confusion overwhelming her, just as she finished reading the letter she turned around to see Martin and Mac in the entrance.
