[spoilers] Harry and Ruth Strike Back

[Silktie]

I forgot to mention this, I wanted to comment on the way Harry handled Ruth's rejection. I quite like that he didn't resort to begging - he stated his case, but when she said no, he left it at that and told her they move on from it. However, once they're back on the Grid, there are a couple of times he quite firmly but politely dismisses her once she's said her piece on work-related matters. He's clearly trying to put some distance between them, by keeping things to the strictly professional. That makes me think he was quite hurt by her rejection, but remained a gentleman about it. Good for Harry.

Possibly that also helped convince Ruth to offer him the slight glimmer of hope at the end, with her statement that they've never been closer.
