As he started toward her, she recalled the way heโd seemed to glide through the sand the first time sheโd ever seen him; she remembered their kiss on the boat dock the night of his sisterโs 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?
