Rob’s phone started ringing relentlessly. Dismayed, didn’t deduce it. He left the house with a bottle of vodka in his jeans pocket, heading for the train station. Regina seemed to leave a hole in his ears and heart like a mad meteorite.

He had no intention of picking up, but the sound bore pretentious bits in the passengers' ears like a precocious Christmas song.

He dropped the bottle on the floor several times, staggering to pick it up. Luckily, it didn't break, but it caught the attention of a few punters.

Ruby was one of them.
