Chance meeting Quote by Alissa Johnson

“Perhaps we might start again?" she suggested. It was never truly possible to start over, of course. One could no more erase the past than predict the future. But sometimes, a second chance could be had. Perhaps their meeting again, after so many years, was such a chance. "I would like that.” quote by Alissa Johnson
