This is from 5:1 and I've copied a bit of the script to put it into context.
"Ruth wouldn't allow me to make this call unless I added she thinks its time you got someone permanent for Wes," Harry said into the phone, resisting from rolling his eyes with difficulty.
"I haven't got timeā¦" Adam said.
"No no, I'll do it Adam, leave it with me." Ruth wondered if she'd overstepped the mark. "Well, as long as you trust me to get the right person."
"I trust you," Adam said honestly.
"Get some rest," Ruth said. Adam hung up the phone and Ruth suddenly realised how close she was to Harry. To speak to Adam she had leant closer to the phone with the result that her arm was brushing against Harry's.
"Satisfied?" Harry asked with reference to the phone call. She drew away from him a few inches to give her breathing space and time to think.
"I'm not wrong," Ruth said moving to sit on the opposite side of Harry's desk. "You know he needs help with Wes."
"Yes," he agreed. "But did you not trust me to mention it if I was alone?"
"Of course I trust you," Ruth said quickly into a suddenly heavy silence. Harry raised an eyebrow at her but said nothing leaving her biting her lip anxiously, wondering what he was thinking. "Well, I should go, because I have a nanny to find as well as everything else I have to do." She got up and was about to leave when Harry called her back.
"Ruth?" Harry said. She turned and faced him, waiting for him to continue. "Don't wear yourself out. Follow your own advice and get some rest."
"Yes Harry," she agreed before leaving his office. They both knew she wouldn't but it comforted her slightly to know he worried about her. What she didn't know was that as she sat down at her desk, Harry's eyes had been following her, intensely staring through the blinds. She didn't see his eyes tracing the curve of her neck as she picked up the phone. She didn't notice the glint in his hazel eyes as she began to type and talk at the same time, multitasking in the way she did so well. It took about ten minutes for Ruth to finish her phone call and then she glanced at Harry's office. She could have sworn she saw the blinds flicker as someone moved away from them. She smiled to herself, feeling incredibly pleased that he had been watching her. The pleasure she felt faded as her phone rang again and she decided to concentrate on her job, at least for the time being.
I think this fits in well with their relationship at the time. What do you think?
