Everyone he'd trusted to ask said so. Now he just had to trust their words, as he'd trusted them to keep quiet on the subject.
"We're speaking again," he said, finally. "And that's good. We have to keep talking. That's the most important thing -- talking with one another."
They'd both know what was right, then, wouldn't they?
