So much so that the flame within him could not be suppressed no matter what.
The more it was like this, the more acute Steve Burton's sense of smell became. Ruby Gregory's faint scent continuously drilled into his nostrils.
Steve's mouth became dry, and he clearly had a premonition that, if he stayed any longer, he would lose his composure.
Trying his best to maintain his sanity, he took out his phone from his pocket and glanced at the time. Then, with a calm tone, he said, "It's getting late. I have to go."
Ruby's uneasy mood suddenly turned a bit reluctant when she heard Steve was leaving. She lifted her head, glanced at him, moved her lips, and then gently nodded.
Seeing her nod, Steve hurriedly left, saying, "Goodbye."
He quickly walked back to the living room, picked up his car keys from the coffee table, and hurriedly left Ruby's house.
