Liam looked across at Terry, whose cheeks were reddened with sunburn. Night had come, and at their dimly lit table, her eyes were like fireflies. Their day had been long, but not tiring, and not uninteresting. Though they hadn’t chatted much, Liam had enjoyed her company as they toured Tam Coq by boat, paddling down a river flanked by cliffs with the kind of rounded, green, and soft shapes unique only to this part of Asia.

On the surface of the lake grass grew, roots hanging free in the water, and it was as bright green as a photo that had been touched up and plonked in a magazine. It was as breathtaking as the first time he had seen it. But back then, he had swam down the river, head above the water, with not a soul in sight. Things had certainly changed since then. Now, hawkers lined the sides, and were at every stop ready and eager to take money from travelers in exchange for trinkets, food, and water.

Terry enjoyed the trip. That much was obvious. She had snapped photo after photo on her phone, touched the grass, watched as it bobbed up and down on the surface of the water. And though they hadn’t spoken much, she never stopped trying, and Liam was beginning to feel his hard out shell peeling away, even though he knew he couldn’t possibly let it.

But there was something quite special about her. She was full of life, a boundless energy, and it made him reflect on himself. He had no energy anymore. He knew why, it wasn’t some mystery. What he didn’t know was whether or not he would ever regain in.

Being with Terry made him feel at least a little more vibrant. Her character was infectious, and while she could sometimes lay it on too thick, it was a welcome change from the life he had led for the past ten years, and the countless years before that.

They had ridden back to Hanoi, her on the back of his moped, grasping onto him tightly. She’d whispered into his ear, thanked him for a lovely day, and then, unexpectedly, rested her head against his back. The action had been oddly intimate, and Liam was left conflicted, wanting to like it, but not daring to.

And now, after returning to the guest house, showered and dressed, they were trying the local beer hoi, something of a tradition for old men, where you sat with a keg of beer and drained it with a tube connected to its tap.

Terry was wearing a light summer dress, white and long, she looked fantastic in it, and Liam tried not to look too much, because once again, memories so old he had forgotten when he had forgotten them, were bubbling upward.

“The photos on my phone don’t capture all the detail,” she said, handing the small device over to Liam. He took it, looked at the screen.

“But you’ll remember it, right?”

“Yeah,” Terry said as she took the phone back from him.
