Perhaps it is better to say that the center of mass of each object maysame
travel a different distance through space? After all, wouldn't the
contact point travel the same distance for both objects?

Hi John,
The crux is not a difference in time; both forces operate for the

each particle may travel a different distance through space (than the
other particle).
