Later, Ruby will worry that she'd injured Sam more and berate herself for not walking on her own. However, right now, she's grateful.
The dim lighting is helpful for both of their headaches. Ruby watches Sam from where she sits on the bed. She even manages a small smirk at his comment about Dean. "So he's more upset than he wants you to know." Her gaze lingers on his hand then slips back up to his eyes. "Bring the first aid kit over here. The least I can do is bandage it up." They can talk about her resting and watches while she does that. "I--I'm sorry that she---I should have realized that Chuck might bring her back." Ruby rarely gets tripped up in her words and she more rarely apologizes; she's not in a good place.
Ruby's eyes well with tears. She hates being vulnerable like this, but it's also something she can't control right now. The tears are there whether she wants them to be or not. They've had the conversation about children, about growing old (or lack thereof), and traditional marriage. She knows that Sam has made his peace with what she can give him. She thought she'd come to accept that even with all of those things, Sam wanted a life with her. That was before Eileen was an option, before Chuck shoved it down their throat, and dragged up every insecurity, including Astaroth, that Ruby had. "Even if you could have the normal, monsterless life that came with it?" Because if they defeat Chuck, that's the hope. "What if there's no place for me in your life when I'm the only monster interrupting it?"
