"She'll be fine."

Ruby heard someone say as her eyes fluttered open.

Her body was warm and cozy and she appeared to be in a huge comfortable bed, but not her bed.

Looking around, she caught sight of Dante staring at her.

"Dante?"

"King.."

"Not yet."

"Ass," Dante snarled, "I saved you."

"From what?"

"Dragons and a concussion."

"How did I..?" Ruby sighed, "I didn't hit my head that hard."

"Well, appears as though you did," Dante said, walking towards the bed slowly, "We got you out of those clothes, too."

Ruby noticed she was in a nightgown now and not her dress.

"Did you see me?"

"I didn't get a chance to see you," Dante admitted, "They had you changed before I could sneak a peek."

"But you...do you really want me?"

"More than you know and I don't understand why."
