Ruby's touch is light. A single swipe with her fingers to move Madison's hair away from her face; then her hand on Madison's cheek, barely enough pressure to hold her there. If she wanted to escape, it would take almost no effort at all.

They kiss. Ruby pulls away after only a few seconds. Not enough to get hot and bothered. Not enough for anything. "Thanks," she says, carefully neutral. Her hand drops back to her side.
