When the Grid starts gossiping about Harry and Ruth's relationship, after their first dinner out, Ruth is ready to pull away, but between Harry and Malcolm they manage to get her to reconsider. How the storyline would have changed.

36. Stroking Egos

Ruth smiles and turns back to her work. Adam walks by and says, "You certainly know how to stroke his ego, Ruth." Adam teases.

"He's not as confident as everyone assumes. He needs a boost every once in a while. He's confident in his operational decisions, but he questions his personal interactions. He trust me to be honest with him always." Ruth mumbles as she reads the file Harry gave her.

"Is that the file Harry have you from 6?" Adam asks as he sits on the edge of Ruth's desk.

"Mmhm." Ruth sips her tea.

"Do I get to see it?" Adam asks teasingly.

"After Malcolm and I get done with it you and everyone else can read it." Ruth says absentmindedly.

Adam knows when to leave Ruth be and she seems to be in her zone right now.
