"I'm sorry Saffron but I really don't know what or who you're talking about," Tristan stutters.
"What do you mean!? Tristan you cannot sit here and look me in the eyes and say that you were never threatened by a man named Mark," I demand.
"Saffron I already said no. You just show up to my house telling me about some guy who used to be your best friend and now is forcing you into marriage. Oh and this guy magically found all your boyfriends and threatened them to leave you, ALL WHILE BEING A WORLD TRAVELING PHOTOGRAPHER," He fumes. "Look Saf, are you okay? Do you need some help? I know a therapist I can recommend. Obviously I care for you and I don't want you going crazy over a hazel eyed imaginary devil," He laments.
His words hit me like a stream of cold water. How cold I have been so stupid. "Forget it, I shouldn't have come," I say on the brink of tears as I walk to the door of his apartment. I open the door and rush down the stairs needing to be free of the humiliation I just endured. I think I hear him yell my name but at this point I don't care.
Walking down the street, I find the nearest Starbucks and order an everything bagel. It's beginning to rain outside. Oh god this rain fits my mood perfectly. I feel like I'm in a fucking romcom. As I sit by the window bar, his words kept replaying over and over in my mind. He thinks I'm crazy, that I'm delusional. But I'm not! I know what I saw. I just can't shake the feeling that something is off. The way he spoke just sounded like he was hiding something. The way he just stared at me with his green eyes pierced my soul- wait THATS IT! Tristan mentioned Mark's hazel eyes. How could he have known that if I never mentioned it? He must have seen or spoken to Mark before. I know this is a long shot but I have to try one final time.
