“He went down trying not to look long at her, as though she were the sun, but he saw her, as one sees the sun, without looking.”

“Her eyes showed that though she may have decided to regret him, as long as he was in her presence she could not.”

“She'd preferred the uncertainty, if only because it allowed her to remember him the way he used to be. Sometimes, though, she wondered what he felt when he thought of that year they spent together, or if he ever marveled at what they'd shared, or even whether he thought of her at all.”
