[spoilers] Harry and Ruth

[Silktie]

Abso-frackin-lutely.

I think they remind each other why they should keep fighting the good fight.

Yeah, Ben Richards has used the word "limited" twice now from Harry's mouth to describe himself to Ruth, both times as Harry is trying to justify himself. I want to see Harry bring Ruth out of her shell when she's outside the conference room.

If Harry ever

persuades Ruth to go on another date with him, perhaps he should take her to a less formal restaurant than last time if he wants her to be less awkward.

Since Ruth loves books, I would suggest he asks her for coffee at one those bookshop cum coffe shop places.

[JHyde]

I know! I always wondered how that date ended. Can you imagine? Standing awkwardly outside.
"Do you want a lift?"
"No, I have the car tonight."
"You were drinking, surely...."
"No, the one with the driver."
"Oh, that one. No, it's allright, really."

Silktie, it must be horribly late over there in NZ given what time it is here!

[Tea Lady]

They must have kissed good night surely. When has anyone ever been on a date and not kissed the other person good night. Ruth probably wouldnt have excepted a lift "Im going on the tube" she probably said and marched off. Actually I am going to that H/R restaurant this Friday for dinner. Not a romantic one though after I discovered the address a few weeks back. I am determined to have a bottle of white burgundy no matter what the price is !

[JHyde]

I think there have often not been kisses after bad first dates!

Maybe a peck on the cheek if he was lucky.

I really hope for your sake that white burgundy is on the wine list!

[Silktie]

Those two looked so awkward during that dinner, I'll bet my boots there was no kiss. I think Harry probably suggested they should do it again, but no definite plans were made. That's why Harry asks her later in his office whether she had thought any more about it.

JHyde, I'm actually in South Africa...

[JHyde]

ahhhhhhhh......I vaguely recall you saying something about NZ elsewhere. Soz

Yeah, and you never know. It might have ended with Harry dashing back to the office.

[Silktie]

Lol, probably!

I don't think they were awkward on that date. Just nervous. I love that Ruth dressed up and Harry dressed down. I think that may, in fact, be my favourite Harry/Ruth scene. So far. Hoping it's topped.
