"Not that people talked about it much, mind. There were a few you'd wonder about, but it wasn't my place to say who they decided to be with. And I'm not so sure it's my place to say now. But since you asked-"
Whatever he's about to say next doesn't quite make it out, the thought stopped in its tracks and temporarily lost in the rather stunned look that Jamie turns on Ruby instead. Give him a minute and he'll get back to it, but he can't quite help but gape at her for at least a few seconds.
