Ruby

My eyes flutter open. My ceiling swims into view and I blink a couple of times. I turn my head to the window to see that it’s night out. I must not have slept for very long. I sigh and struggle to sit up from my position propped up on the pillows behind me. I swing my legs gingerly over the side of the bed and reach out to turn the lamp on. I smile when I see a brand-new phone lying on the nightstand.
