“You wouldn’t happen to know the best route to the beach, would you?” James asked her, his brow furrowed as he consulted a crumpled map. It was him, all right. Thomas. He hadn't changed all that much.

When he finally looked up, offering a grateful smile, she found herself returning it. A calmness settled over her as she watched him disappear down the road.
