Beth smiles then, just a little one, but it feels good to be able to do so. Ever since Chuck began to talk to her -- slowly and more than a little stilted -- about Laura, she'd wondered if they would get along. She had wanted them to, because whatever she and Chuck used to be to each other, he's now one of her best friends, and she not only wants him to be happy, but wants to be able to spend time with whoever it is that makes him happy.

This isn't necessarily how she would have wanted it to happen, but she's still glad Laura found her.

"Y'know how we've all come from different places?" she asks as she tucks her knife away again. "My world had this virus in it and it... it brought people back to life after they died. Everything kinda fell apart, so we all had to learn how to be a little bit... harder." She doesn't want to say stronger, she doesn't like that word much after the hospital.
