Reminisce

His solitude was soon broken by the approach of Rhyme. Beat didn't know him very well, but he did know him. For a moment, he was reminded of those that he had lost, but he pushed it away, forcing a smile. The smile grew genuine as the big man complimented him on his improving health. Beat nodded. "Thank you." He remembered Rhyme being unhappy before, and rightly so. They had all been broken by their losses. Rhyme looked happy now. "You look happier. I'm glad."

Not really knowing what to say, Beat absently cleared his throat and let his gaze roam over their surroundings. He wasn't sure if Rhyme wanted to talk about everything that had happened to both of them or not. He wasn't sure that either of them wanted to open up those wounds. Perhaps though... in the end it might help them both.
