[ There is an instinct that flutters up within Ange, almost escaping, only to be stopped at the last moment. A part of her wants to say that she knows it, that it's why she said she knows Ruby won't mind, because there might be a part of her that feels a little miffed or worried that she seems like she doesn't even know this much about a girl she is literally right about to marry.
But it's everything about Break that stops her before words can leave the girl's throat. The way he's quiet for a moment, like he's obviously thinking about something more behind the words he's telling her here. The way he's rubbing that tattoo - something Break never offered to talk about, and so Ange never bothered to ask.
She wonders who he's thinking about. For a moment the girl stares, as if that might somehow bring the answer to that question to her, but of course it doesn't. All she can tell is that Break must be thinking about someone he's very fond of, and that that is why he's saying it like this - despite Ange already very well understanding the sentiment herself.
It's that fact that leaves her quiet in turn for a moment, glancing briefly back at the mirror she had been staring in earlier, fussing over every small part of her appearance for such an important day, and then slowly speaking up again. ]
.. I think Ruby would probably put it in a slightly less poignant way. [ Perhaps she's trying to lighten the air a little bit, by turning this corner into the conversation, rather than something deeper. ] Maybe something more like 'sure, Ange, have fun!'
