Oh yes, I totally love the "pacing" scene. I can watch it again and again and I still have a big grin on my face. Harry seems to be a little irritated first of all, or is pretending to be irritated, and then can't help himself with a little flirty comment that catches Ruth out. Ruth then can't help it and her mouth runs away with her and before she knows it, she has paid him a lovely compliment. Harry's smile after she walks out is so lovely. I agree Silktie, he looks like such a little boy. (Will try not to use words love or lovely again in this post.)

As for the end scene, it probably isn't in my top R/H five scenes but it is still lovely (heck.) Harry really wants to share his news with Ruth and waits until the Grid is almost empty. Harry also seems a tad disappointed when Ruth says she is going out. I note that Ruth doesnt put him at ease by saying it's a girlfriend she's meeting though. (I think i read that somewhere or perhaps I have read too much fanfic.)

It is really the first overt sign for me that Ruth has feelings for Harry that go beyond friendship.
