Neither one of them moved as they faced each other. He hadnt said anything, his muscles seemed frozen, and for a second she thought he didnt recognize her. Suddenly she felt guilty about shog up this way, without warning, and this made it harder. She had thought it would be easier somehow, that she would know what to say. But she didnt. Everything that came into her head seemed inappropriate, somehow lacking. Thoughts of the summer theyd shared came back to her, and as she stared at him, she noticed how little hed changed since shed last seen him. He looked good, she thought. With his shirt tucked loosely into old faded jeans, she could see the same broad shoulders she remembered, tapering down to narrow hips and a flat stomach. He was tan, too, as if hed worked outside all summer, and though his hair was a little thinner and lighter than she remembered, he looked the same as he had when shed known him last. When she was finally ready, she took a deep breath and smiled. Hello, Noah. Its good to see you again. Her comment startled him, and he looked at her with amazement in his eyes. Then, after shaking his head slightly, he slowly began to smile. You too , he stammered. He brought his hand to his chin, and she noticed he hadnt shaved. Its really you, isnt it I cant believe it . She heard the shock in his voice as he spoke, and surprising her, it all came togetherâ€”being here, seeing him. She felt something twitch inside, something deep and old, something that made her dizzy for just a second. She caught herself fighting for control. She hadnt expected this to happen, didnt want it to happen. She was engaged now. She hadnt come here for this ...yet ... Yet... Yet the feeling went on despite herself, and for a brief moment she felt fifteen again. Felt as she hadnt in years, as if all her dreams could still come true. Felt as though shed finally come home. Without another word they came together, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and he put his arms around her, drag her close. They held each other tightly, making it real, both of them letting the fourteen years of separation dissolve in the deepening twilight. They stayed like that for a long time before she finally pulled back to look at him. Up close, she could see the changes she hadnt noticed at first. He was a man now, and his face had lost the softness of youth. The faint lines around his eyes had deepened, and there was a scar on his chin that hadnt been there before. There was a new edge to him; he seemed less innocent, more cautious, and yet the way he was holding her made her realize how much shed missed him since shed seen him last. Her eyes brimmed with tears as they finally released each other. She laughed nervously under her breath while wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes. Are you okay he asked, a thousand other questions on his face. Im sorry, I didnt mean to cry.... Its okay, he said, smiling, I still cant believe its you. How did you find me She stepped back, trying to compose herself, wiping away the last of her tears. I saw the story on the house in the Raleigh paper a couple of weeks ago, and I had to come see you again. Noah smiled broadly. Im glad you did. He stepped back just a bit. God, you look fantastic. Youre even prettier now than you were then. She felt the blood in her face. Just like fourteen years ago. Thank you. You look great, too. And he did, no doubt about it. The years had treated him well. So what have you been up to Why are you here His questions brought her back to the present, making her realize what could happen if she wasnt careful. Dont let this get out of hand, she told herself; the longer it goes on, the harder its going to be. And she didnt want it to get any harder.
