It
seemed
to
Rearden
that
his
consciousness
shot
forward
ahead
of
his
body
,
it
was
his
body
that
refused
to
move
,
stunned
by
shock
,
while
his
mind
was
laughing
,
telling
him
that
this
was
the
most
natural
,
the
most
-
to
-
have
-
been
-
expected
event
in
the
world
.
Francisco
smiled
,
a
smile
of
greeting
to
a
childhood
friend
on
a
summer
morning
,
as
if
nothing
else
had
ever
been
possible
between
them
and
Rearden
found
himself
smiling
in
answer
,
some
part
of
him
feeling
an
incredulous
wonder
,
yet
knowing
that
it
was
irresistibly
right
.
"
You
ve
been
torturing
yourself
for
months
,
"
said
Francisco
,
approaching
him
,
"
wondering
what
words
you
d
use
to
ask
my
forgiveness
and
whether
you
had
the
right
to
ask
it
,
if
you
ever
saw
me
again
but
now
you
see
that
it
isn
t
necessary
,
that
there
s
nothing
to
ask
or
to
forgive
.

"
Yes
,
"
said
Rearden
,
the
word
coming
as
an
astonished
whisper
,
but
by
the
time
he
finished
his
sentence
he
knew
that
this
was
the
greatest
tribute
he
could
offer
,
"
yes
,
I
know
it
.
"
Francisco
sat
down
on
the
couch
beside
him
,
and
slowly
moved
his
hand
over
Rearden
s
forehead
.
It
was
like
a
healing
touch
that
closed
the
past
.
"
There
s
only
one
thing
I
want
to
tell
you
,
"
said
Rearden
.
"
I
want
you
to
hear
it
from
me
:
you
kept
your
oath
,
you
were
my
friend
.

I
knew
that
you
knew
it
.
You
knew
it
from
the
first
.
You
knew
it
,
no
matter
what
you
thought
of
my
actions
.
You
slapped
me
because
you
could
not
force
yourself
to
doubt
it
.
"
"
That
.
.
.
"
whispered
Rearden
,
staring
at
him
,
"
that
was
the
thing
I
had
no
right
to
tell
you
.
.
.
no
right
to
claim
as
my
excuse
.
.
.
"
"
Didn
t
you
suppose
I
d
understand
it
?
