Why this must be read:
This is a rather short and not a very usual story. Not CI5 action, not danger, no mystery. Just Bodie and Doyle, dealing with life.
What we'll find here is a sense of the deep connection between these men; a perfect depiction of how different they are in more than a way, and how this works in their benefit.
If you want to see what I'm talking about, follow me under this pretty cut
They pulled into the CI5 carpark in companionable silence, but as Doyle reached for the door handle, Bodie touched him on the arm. One look at his partner's expressionless face told Doyle that Bodie knew what he'd been trying to hide.
"She was a sweet old lady, Ray. She was happy enough with what she had. Don't chuck that and get all broody about the way she died. It's the way she lived that matters. And it's the same for you and me." A ghost of a smile touched his lips and his eyes. "So stop raining on me, already."
"I just - she didn't have anyone, Bodie. No one at all. And I didn't even notice."
"She had enough of you that she won't be forgotten. That's plenty for anyone. Let it go, Ray. You didn't make things the way they are. And if there is Someone who did, then dump the lot on His shoulders and let Him worry about it - Cowley's got that much right, out of all his Bible reading." Bodie tapped Doyle's shoulder with a soft fist. "Come on - there'll be at least two of us at her funeral. I'll even bring flowers."
There was some comfort there, strange as it seemed. Doyle had a sudden flash of Mrs. Tolliver's take on Brontë, and the memory made him smile.
"Violets, then, Heathcliff, to match your eyes. She'd like gettin' those from you."
Now, of you want to see the rest, go here: A Reason For It All, and not forget to let know the author what you thought :D
