Red smiled to herself, Victor had a point, David would be a fool to be that stubborn. Not that she wouldn't pay bail if she was given the chance....
She thought about calling Granny, but that would pretty much completely ruin their night, couldn't call Snow, or Emma, or Belle....
Looks like she'd be staying in a jail cell on Valentines day, A pang of guilt hit her gut.... well, at least Victor was here....

David gave a reluctant nod and headed to the sheriffs office to complete some paperwork until light's out.
Whale looked over a Ruby in her cell. He gave a weak smile. "Happy Valentines Day." He sighed, and then giving a little laugh over the absurdity over how this night had turned out.

Red bit her lip and looked at him, she felt AWFUL
he bought her roses and a bracelet, brought her to an amazing restaurant, and then she ruined the evening because she was so selfish with her own ... urges....
And now she couldn't even post their bail. She walked over to the bars separating them," I'm so sorry Victor...."

"For what?" He looked up at her, startled. "Red, this is BY FAR the most memorable date I've ever been on...and not even the worst." he grimaced, considering some of those past nightmarish encounters. "If anyone is sorry, it should be me. I'm sorry that I can't post your bail... or even mine for that matter." His expenditures on the new apartment, appliance replacements... thank you ARIEL... and the bracelet had drained his finances. He looked down. "And I don't know anyone that likes me enough to come to my assistance...so here I shall remain I suppose. But in good company." He smiled warmly at her.
He then went over to the bed by the far wall and dragged it over to press it right against the barred segment that separated her cell from his. He laid down upon it, stretching out his limps and sighing deeply.

Ruby slid into her bed once she moved it closer to Whales cell. She still felt incredibly guilty, but again it helped knowing Victor wasn't completely disappointed in how things turned out....
"Victor... can I tell you something...?" She asked glancing over at him

He propped himself up onto his elbows, attentive.
"Anything Red." He replied.

"I was... always kind of jealous of Snow... and Cindy...." Red started," The whole Princess thing mostly, everyone... they loved them, and I know I'm fairly likeable but... I was still 'The Werewolf'.... and people were still afraid of me, no one would get close to me. It makes sense... but I never felt treasured like the Princesses were, they way people looked at them and smiled and talked about how 'fair' or 'lovely' they were..."
She sighed and stared at the ceiling,"... and I just started to accept that, that would never be me." She closed her eyes and looked at him," But today.... when you showed up at the diner with the rose and bracelet, and then the restaurant with even more roses... I dunno... I felt loved, I felt.... well... yeah. I was a princess"
She felt like a kid saying all this sappiness, but it was true.
"Thank you Victor...." she stretched her hand through the bars and touched his," All of this... it means a lot to me, even if it wasn't what we thought it'd be"

Moved, Victor brought her fair hand up to his lips. "To me, you ARE the loveliest, Ruby Lucas...and deserve a prince." He gave her a lop-sided grin. "I am... OUT OF MY MIND WITH RAPTURE that you are content to settle for someone like me, instead."

Red laughed and squeezed his hand gently," Victor, trust me, I'm not settling. You're the most fantastic guy I've ever met.... and to tell you the truth..."
Red grinned and lowered her voice like she was telling a secret,"Charming can't hold a candle to you"

Oh how that little comment ignited a small victory flame in his soul.
Kissed her hand again, and pulled it in towards himself a little more, planting gentle kiss up her wrist, and arm, until the bars prevented him from going any farther.
He sighed heavily. "Oh the things I would do to you if these bars weren't between us..." He then paused. "Red, is it always going to be like this? This bond is so... potent. I can hardly think straight when I'm around you, I want you so much... which is GREAT... really REALLY great... but it makes trying to be productive nearly impossible..."
He remembered when he first began experiencing the side effects of the bond; it had been overwhelming... but with time, the edge of it began to wear off until it felt like it was a natural part of him. "Do you suppose after we... you know... that it will still be as strong?"

"No, I definitely know what you mean," Red blushed a little," I think.... 'After' it should calm down, and I guess there could be days 'like' this but hopefully a little more manageable"
Red pulled up closer to the bars, kissed the tips of fingers then gently reached and pressed them against his,"I swear Victor, when we get out if here, I'm going to make this all up to you"

David came out of the office, dialing a number on his phone. "Red, I think Snow and I can pool funds to arrange for your bail tonight, so you won't have to stay here." He brought the device up to his ear, glancing at Whale. "I'm sure a man on a DOCTOR'S SALARY can get himself out..."

"So... Whale would stay here?" She sat up a little, she knew Whale couldn't afford to post his bail and the thought of him staying here by himself... " No. I'm sorry, but I... I couldn't... it wouldn't feel right"
She bit her lip," Thank you though, for the thought.... but I'll spend the night here"

Both David and Whale looked at her surprised, but she didn't look like she was going to change her mind.
The deputy hung up his phone and was about to go back into the office until 'closing' time at 11:00pm, but the doctor spoke up.
"You don't have to stay here..." He suggested innocently. "...I mean, we're not going anywhere anytime soon. You might as well go home to Emma, Henry..." Whale cleared his throat. "...and your wife." He didn't feel anything for Snow. He didn't feel anything for her even when they DID make love that one night, under the curse.... but he didn't want the fake prince to punch him in the face again...

"And I promise we won't get into anymore trouble... if... that's even possible in here... please, go enjoy the rest of your night" Red meant it, yeah, she was still a little upset with him. But she'd cooled down now, and she knew Henry, Emma and especially Snow wouldn't want to be without him tonight.
