She butterflies the cut on his wrist. Blood still runs slowly down his arm to soil her jeans.
Sam could have avoided the knife if he wanted to. But he didn't; he stood still a fraction of a second too long before he raised his hand. Ruby had seen it all, the sorrow in his eyes and the split-second hesitation, but she says nothing.
