Ruby had forgotten that she could hurt like this. It's been decades since she'd been injured this badly. Sam had made a quick bed out of the blankets and pillows that Ruby kept in her SUV for nights stargazing with Sam or she slept in the back rather than get a hotel room on quick hunts. Once that had been done, he'd moved her to stitch her up in the comparatively clean environment of the SUV. That done, he'd insisted they both get some rest, stating that she didn't need to be moved or jostled for a little while in order to give her body a little time to heal. He'd pulled a blanket over the both of them and curled up with her. Just to give you body heat he'd said. Ruby had joked that they could create a little more heat if he wanted, but they both knew from the weakness in her voice that she wasn't feeling up to anything more than talking.
"Talk to me," Ruby finally whispers after a few moments of silence. "I promise I'll try to sleep if you do."
