“We had a plan to make love on the secret beach. We wanted to make love in a place we’d never be again, that most humans don’t even know exists.”

"What is a stranger? Why are we warned, from a young age, not to speak to them? What are we to make of those who wander into our path—without name or context, without promise of reappearing? And what of those who, once we've painted them with meaning, suddenly walk out? To no one are these questions more pertinent, more central, than the traveler: by definition, someone who seeks out strangeness; someone who lives to dance across its borders."
