YN POV:

"All I'm saying is that both times I've seen her, she felt familiar that's all. It doesn't mean I have a crush." I explain this to my two best friends, Kendall and Sebastian.

"Well we have no idea who you're talking about, we haven't seen you talk to this woman." Kendall replies as she sips her coffee.

"Seb, you were there last Friday. You must have seen her at the bar, you came up to us and spoke to me as I was talking to her." I look over to Seb and wave my hands around like some weirdo. If he doesn't remember anything, he's dumber than I thought.

He shrugs.
"Dude, I have no idea. I know you were talking to somebody but I didn't see who. I was too busy worrying about Hayley."
Hayley was the woman he was lying to about owning my father's bar.

He's dumber than I thought.
I sigh and brush my hands over my face.
"I'm not crazy, she exists!" I explain with another sigh.

A random wave of familiarity came over me as I was walking to the gym yesterday, I know this woman but I can't think of where from. Her last name doesn't ring any bells, I know I don't know a Ms Richards.
"I'll find out at some point but I gotta go. I told my dad I would be at his by 12 and I'm late, I'll see you both later." I say as I stand up and put my jacket on. It feels weird being in a different jacket, I'm so used to my bomber jacket but little miss mystery still has it.
Maybe I won't see her again and I'll just have to accept the fact I'll never see it again, RIP fallen soldier.

"Hey kid." my father greets me.

"Hey Dad, how are you doing?" I ask as I pull him in for a quick hug.
I make my way inside and we spend the next 30 minutes talking about random things.

As I sit here in dads garden I can't help but think about Blondie, again.
I know her. Who is she? Her blonde hair and green eyes seem so familiar like I've spent a lifetime looking at them, no that isn't me declaring my love for her.
"Whatcha thinking about over there." Dad interrupts my thought process.

"Do you know a woman with the last name Richards? A woman with blonde hair and green eyes." I question as I pull out a cigarette and light it.
He looks out towards the garden as if he is thinking and lets out a little 'hm' maybe he does know this woman.

"The only woman I can think of is our neighbour at the old house. But she was quite old then and had about 12 cats. Definitely Didn't have blonde hair." He lets out a laugh.

I exhale the smoke I had previously inhaled before speaking again.
"Maybe it's her daughter or granddaughter or something."

"Who and what are we talking about?" he asks and I explain the same thing I had explained to Kendall and Seb in the cafe earlier on. I know this woman, I just need to find out where I know her from.

My father adjusts the cap on his head, leans back in his seat and crosses his arms over his chest before speaking out.
"Well, Mrs Richards, the old cat lady, used to have a young girl and her twin brother, a year older than you" He points towards me. "visit her nearly every day to help her with shopping, cleaning and all those little things. You got along with the brother very well and then you started hanging out with his sister a lot. I remember climbing up into your tree house to grab you for dinner and there you both were kissing! I didn't know what to do. I always thought your mother would be around to deal with these things. I was still learning how to be a full-time single father. I was only a few months clean then." He half smiles as he mentions Mom.
