Chapter 7: Chapter 6. Number One

It was strange, but I really didn't know how to ask for such a ten-year-old child.

«Ruby, do you mind going out with me next week?» I asked when we were having breakfast together at the dining table.

The little girl immediately nodded.

— You won't even ask where exactly? I was surprised.

— If it's with my aunt, then I'm willing to go anywhere! Ruby smiled back at me.

That's a good kid! I stroked her hair while Ruby looked as pleased as a little hamster. My niece is really just lovely.

«That's great,» I said, «Don't worry, it won't be long.

— What are we going to do? — the girl innocently batted her eyelashes.

— We… ahem… Let's have coffee with an uncle.

Ruby's happy expression vanished in an instant. She looked at me seriously and at first I didn't understand what it was about.

— Aunt Grace, is this uncle more important to you than me? — she asked sadly.

I was stunned.

— no. Of course not! Who could be more important than my Ruby? I hastened to assure.

«Then who is he?» — the girl persisted.

— Him… A casual acquaintance.

— what?

— Ahem… We ran into each other on the street not so long ago. And that's why they are almost strangers.

Ruby looked puzzled.

— Really?

—H-of course!

Relief showed on her face. She put her arm around my waist again.

— Well, if it really is.

I sighed. It looks like I should be more careful with this question. While Ruby is still a child, I should take a more careful approach to her acquaintance with other people. It will be better for the formation of her psyche.

And while I was thinking about how I should help her make her first social contacts in society, the girl suddenly said:

«Auntie, can you promise me something?»

I smiled.

— What exactly?

—Promise me you'll never leave me.»

I was surprised.

— I've already said that I don't…

But Ruby interrupted me:

— I mean, from now on I want to be number one for you.
