As he started toward her, she recalled the way he’d seemed to glide through the sand the first time she’d ever seen him; she remembered their kiss on the boat dock the night of his sister’s wedding.

There was so much to say, yet what could they really begin to say in this awkward setting and with so much time already passed? "
― Nicholas Sparks , The Last Song
