Thanks for all the reviews again. Here's the end.

Epilogue

Dimitri smiled as Ruth and Harry exited from the same pod.

They looked relaxed, they looked happy.

They had both had the same three days off.

Factually that was all the rest of the grid knew.

Theoretically more was immediately obvious.

"Nice top, Evershed," called Dimitri, "get it while you were away?"

"Yes, thank you, Dimitri."

"Different for you though," he added.

"Nothing wrong with a change," she smiled.

"Indeed not," he said, "what do you think Harry?"

"I think it's very becoming," he said casually as he crossed to his office.

Ruth looked content.

"I never imagined you in a polo neck before," said Dimitri with a gleam in his eye.

"Well, now you can, " she said.

"Bit warm, though," he pressed.

"I feel just fine Dimitri," she leaned into him, "now give it a rest."

He grinned, sat down and shut up.

Ruth picked up a file and found herself heading towards Harry's office. She had been away from him for all of a minute but it felt like an eternity.

He smiled as she came in and immediately headed towards her, pressing her against the door where he knew he couldn't be seen.

"Are you hot Ruth?" he breathed in her ear.

"No."

"How about now?" his tongue began to run around her ear.

"Yes," she breathed, "definitely hot now."

"You could take that polo neck off," his breath panted in her ear.

"I could," she gasped.

"But that might give a few things away," he teased.

"Yes, it might. The question is who's the adolescent now, Harry?"

"I am, Ruth. I am."

And he kissed her again like he had just discovered the joy of it.

Which he truly had.
