I had prepared an answer and was about to answer when I saw something strange about his countenance.
'What?! Tears?'
Tristan sniffed loudly, wiping his nose with the palm of his hands.
"I... I thought I lost you forever," he said hoarsely.
Was that true? Was it possible for such strong feelings to come forth even after knowing each other for barely a month? Or maybe I was reading too much into this.
Maybe it had nothing whatsoever to do with us getting to know each other better, but rather the fact we shared similar experiences growing up and with the strange connection only boosted my intuition on the fact that this might just be what they call 'fate'.
We understood where the other person was coming from most times, especially since neither of us ever received proper guidance or support throughout childhood.
And now suddenly meeting again created a bond stronger than steel.
