Marlon and Athena spent stsnuggled together before he took her hand and suggested they head to the beach to enjoy

"Athena, isn't the moon here just beautiful?" Marlon asked.
A naive smile spread across Athena's face. "It's lovely. I've never seen a moon quite like this."
Marlon smiled, pulling her into his arms, content to stand there in silence.
He genuinely found the moon enchanting, but he had never experienced this feeling before—watching the scenery with a woman

Athena played along with Marlon throughout. When he suggested dipping their toes in the ocean, she followed suit.
As their feet touched the water, Marlon suddenly asked, "Does this beach remind you of anything?"
Confusion flickered in Athena's eyes. She wondered what he meant.
Marlon was tempted to mention Kerwin. His research indicated that Athena had once deeply loved Kerwin, a love so intense that
his death during their most passionate year must have left an indelible mark.
Even though Murphy had used hypnotic techniques, Marlon feared she might suddenly recall everything.
But Athena's eyes remained devoid of recognition, as if she had no idea what he was talking about.
Relieved, Marlon pulled her closer. "If you can't remember, that's okay. Giveyour hand, and let's explore the area before
heading back to sleep."
