Meeting you again

It was so nice to have her back.  The feeling of her against him, a reminder that she really was here and real again helped soothe some of his inner frustration of the bad things that had happened.  The touch of the rain over his coat was fine, somehow it just added to the reality of the moment and perhaps even more special as he got to shield her to some degree.  For a long time, he couldn’t protect her so if this was the best he could do now then he’d take it.

No surprise she stayed quiet about the past.  Rudy had no desire to dredge up memories of mom going insane, her death, even the fight with Art had felt so horrible at the time.  Some things were better left unsaid if not able to be forgotten.
“I know they don’t,” Rudy shrugged, “and if someone else said it I’d be saying the same to them.  Emotions just aren’t always that logical.  It’s fine though.”  Rudy’s tail thumped on the ground at her last words, “We’re all just glad your ok.” He was silent for a moment before adding, “Thanks Bo.  Was kind of frustrated but, this is nice.” Sometimes all you need to feel better is being with those you love.  It sounded sappy but this moment also proved it to be true.
