5. Finally!

"I'll just collect my coat and purse and I'll meet you at the pods." Ruth whispers and slips out of the office.

"Finally, Harry! We've been waiting for ages to see when you and Ruth were going to get together." Adam teases as Harry moves around his office putting his scarf and overcoat on.

"So, what's the point of saying all that Adam? You don't have to be vague with me. In fact, I prefer if you're not vague with me. I get that from politicians all too often." Harry says firmly. He hates not knowing what people are thinking.

"We're all happy for you Harry! Ruth and you are so good together. It's nice to see the two of you so happy. It's rare in this job, so it's nice to see someone find someone else to be happy with." Adam smiles at Harry.

"Thanks Adam. I'll see you tomorrow."
