“Sometimes, i think the sea nearly killed her, loved her so much that it didn't want to give her back. Other times i just hate Charley for ever existing in the first place.”

“Then I asked her if she wanted to to the funeral, and my God, the look on her face. You'd think I'd asked her to drown the neighbor's cat."Admittedly, drowning the neighbor's cat didn't really clue me in as much as I would've liked.

“Knowing Lissa missed me hurt almost more than if she'd completely written me off. I'd never wanted to hurt her.

How had things gotten so screwed up between us?”
