"Y-Yeah..." George stammered. He tried to think of another topic. "So uh, dead things aside, how are you?"

He mentally cursed himself. Out of all the things, I picked the fucking cheesiest one.

"I'm fine, you?"

"Jus' dandy."

Silence.

"Hey," Ringo spoke up, hands fidgeting with his shirt. "When's your birthday?"

"February 25," He replied. "You?"

Another bright smile formed in the man's lips. "July 8."

George nodded, marking the date on his mental calendar.

He was cut off by his phone ringing. "Excuse me," He muttered, bringing the gadget up to his ear. "Hello?" His face fell. He looked back and saw Ringo picking loose treads on his shirt. "Listen, I gotta go.."

Ringo's smile fell a bit. "O-Okay..."

George gave him an apologetic smile. "See you tomorrow?"

He nodded. "Sure!"
