She would absolutely understand though if he were to express that disappointment. It's part of their connection. Thanks to them, Astaroth will have to take a moment and regroup. She might even start adapting her plan because she's not only got Sam's engagement band, but she's got Ruby's knife. They've given her a few things to ponder and reassess while they heal.

Ruby can see the worry and concern on his face despite his attempts to hide it and she appreciates it. She feels a little better about answering his second question honestly. "I...a six. Very cold, but not as bad as waking up in a walk-in freezer," she tells him. Part of it is an inside joke or memory. She's woken up in a walk-in a couple of times when they attempted to keep her body fresh while she wasn't in it. The shivers are under control because of his shirt and the blanket on the bed. A hot shower would probably be good, but she's awfully happy to be in bed right now too. He can help warm her up with his body heat.

She murmurs that it's fine in response to his apology. She knows it's something that has to be done. She doesn't need to fight off an infection and heal as well.

He probably should talk to Eileen and let her know that nothing has changed from the last time she was around. He is still with Ruby and she can't do things like kiss him or flirt with him or hope that things will work out between herself and him. Ruby's concerns haven't changed much either; Astaroth just leaned on those concerns and amplified them. There are things that Sam can have with Eileen that he can never have with Ruby, including children and growing old together. Ruby could switch bodies to stay the same apparent age as him, but she's still not going to grow old with him. That passion and fever is good because it reminds Ruby that he wants her as much as he loves her. She's a little reluctant to break the kisses, but she's also aware they're both exhausted and need rest. Once he pulls her closer to him, she snuggles up with him, tucking herself next to his chest, one leg between his legs, one arm over him. "Warmer now," she murmurs before drifting off to sleep.

After some discussion with Jo, and the ultimate decision that she'd stay at the bunker, Dean had gotten in the Impala as soon as he'd gotten off the phone with Sam. Four and half hours later (he'd driven too fast), Dean is knocking on the door to their hotel room. "Sammy, put some pants on! It's too early to see anyone naked. I brought coffee!" He yells through the door, fully prepared to pick the lock if need be or smash through it as a last resort.
