Quote #10
They walked as old friends walk, without often speaking, sharing the kind of silence that is not so much silence as a kind of still communication. Their footsteps rang out on the bare wet road, making the only sound anywhere in the village except the song of a blackbird and, somewhere further off, the sound of someone shoveling. (13.61)
We all have those friends—you know, the one you don't even need to talk to because you already know what the other is thinking and feeling. In the end, this is how Merriman and Will are with each other. No language needed.
