    Summary

    "I'll see you later then," Ruby says, releasing his hand. She involuntarily flexes her fingers as she drops her arm by her side.

    James follows the movement.

    "Have dinner with me tonight," he says, glancing back at her. "There's an old pub in Pemwick where the boys and I go sometimes for a drink or two." Ruby raises one eyebrow and James smirks. "Or maybe more than two. But the food is great and it's never too busy. I have something to do after school, but Percy can pick you up at 7.30?"

    Ruby hesitates only a beat. “It's a date."

    After the party at Cyril's house, Ruby and James are dating. Sequel to Like a Moth to a Flame.

    Summary

    "You came," he says, and he can hear the surprise mixing with relief in his own voice.

    "I was thinking…" she starts and James nods, intrigued and a bit amused because when is Ruby Bell not thinking? She pauses, eyes still fixed on him, and James knows that whatever she says next will decide where they go from here.

    "I think the past is... overrated.”

    Something in James settles at her words.

    So this is it. He won’t have to pretend he doesn't know her, won’t have to pretend that whatever this is, this charged tension between them, doesn't intrigue him.

    It feels good to know it's not one-sided.

    -

    Ruby doesn't get thrown in the pool. Canon divergence from the party scene in episode 3. A four-part story plus epilogue.

    THIS STORY IS NOW COMPLETE
