Later that evening as Ruby was closing up the diner she heard the door open. "We're closed" she yelled without looking up from the table she was wiping down with a dishcloth. When nobody answered she looked up "what are you doing here" she asked pleasantly surprised. "Just thought I'd come and get some good food, better than anything I'd make" Dr. Whale said with a smile. "Sorry I didn't realize you guys would be closed, this crazy work schedule of mine this week has me all confused, I'll leave, see you around" he said turning to the door. "No, no It's okay I can get you whatever you want" she replied hurriedly. "Are you sure?" he asked "I don't want to put you to any trouble." "I'm sure, it's no trouble, anything for the town's favorite doctor" she told him smiling and he smiled back. "I don't know about favorite" he said with a laugh. "I do" she said softly then quickly said "so what is it exactly that I can get for you?" "Well" he paused for a minute seeming to be thinking "it's been pretty cold so I think I'll take some soup." "Alright what kind do you want?" "Whatever is fine, it's all good" she laughed "I'll get you some broccoli cheddar it's still pretty warm." She began walking over to get it when she heard a beeping noise and Dr. Whale pulled out his pager. Looking at it he groaned and said "can you make that to go?" he asked apologetically. "Yeah, no problem" she said disappointed. She hurriedly spooned some in a to go container and carried it out putting the lid on. The money was laying on the counter and as she handed him the container their fingers touched and he gently pulled her close to him and kissed her softly on the lips for a minute. After he pulled away "I'll see you around" he said smiling. "Yeah" she said happily.

She went back to her cleaning when 30 seconds later the door opened again. She could barely suppress her smile but when she turned and saw who it was she had no trouble at all. "Hook" she said annoyed "we're closed so you need to leave." "That's funny" Hook said "you didn't seem to be turning away that doctor, in fact you seemed to be offering him all of your services" he said suggestively. She gave him a dirty look "why are you here?" "Because I knew you just had to see me" he said smiling and taking a step towards her. With her face void of any emotion she took a step back. "Well" he said in a businesslike manner "I need your help so it's time to go." "What? Now?" she exclaimed incredulously "I can't just go. I have things to do. I have responsibilities!" "Well a deal's a deal and I'm sure someone can be found to clean up this mess. Just call up your woodland friends have them do it and let's go." She gave him a dirty look "I don't do that." She walked behind the counter and after throwing her dishrag in the sink began to look for her coat. "I can't find my coat" she said annoyed. "That's alright" Hook said "I have many ways to keep you warm" he said smiling with a raised eyebrow. She rolled her eyes and thankfully found her coat under the counter behind the condiments. She hurriedly put it on walking towards Hook and the door "let's just get this over with" she said annoyed. "After you" he said kindly opening the door for her. She looked at him surprised "what I can't be a gentleman?" he asked with a kind, half smile.
