"Come on, be quick. Make sure to wear a hoodie," I called from the sitting room.
"Alright," Ruby replied. I had succeeded in convincing her, and she went to change.
After dressing, she came out wearing a grey hoodie, black joggers, and Converse shoes.
"How do I look?" She asked, examining her outfit. I walked over and pulled her hoodie further over her face.
"Cover up properly."
"But isn't it too late? Are you sure we're going to find a taxi?"
I checked the time on my phone. "It's a few minutes past midnight, but don't worry; Joshua will be here."
"Really?"
"I didn't want to disturb him, but I had no choice; this is urgent. I'm expecting his text—he'll be here soon."
"Alright, I'll grab a different purse." She rushed into her room and returned with a smaller bag. She put her phone inside her purse and sat down beside me.
When my phone beeped, I didn't bother reading the text; I already knew who it was.
