[spoilers] Harry and Ruth Strike Back

[Naivety]

This is just some disjointed comments that come to mind when reading the above:

I am sure we are heading for a show down soon. Harry is losing his patience, and you can't blame him, although nothing is going to change his feelings for her.

I don't think Ruth has quite forgiven Harry for what happened in 8.1 and I think that is what she is referring to when she rejects his proposal.

Thinking about the proposal, if someone you care about suddenly went from giving you the cold shoulder on the roof top when he said 'It's just the wind, Ruth' to 'Marry me' within what must be less than a fortnight, I think you would question his motives. I mean, what ever happened to 'I love you' and cosy nights in and going for a drink or a meal. They've only had one date!

The proposal wasn't worded very elegantly, it sounded as though loneliness was the motive, not love. Ruth has said before how she values elegance. I wish we could have had a follow up conversation about her comments at the end of 9.1, or if Harry had said more instead of changing the subject.

I'm really hoping for more than one H/R scene in 9.3!
