After two decades there she was, in front of him, almost within touching distance, not faded like in his dreams, but bright and clear and vividly real, looking comfortably, almost defiantly, the same as she always had and then everything she had never been.

About This Quote

The most beautiful woman in the world, the one he had loved for the entirety of his life, was standing in front of him. As he tried to speak, he found that his mouth was too dry to utter a single word. His tongue was stuck to the roof of his mouth, refusing to move. It wasn’t that he didn’t know what to say; it was that nothing would come out.
