Tristam walked slowly down the Lane, mind fully on the fact that he was meeting a long time friend and former girlfriend. He couldn't believe that he had put on a bit of cologne for this meeting. The clothing was the same as he would normal wear if on a date, a clean pair of jeans and a button down shirt that hung over his pants. Tucking them in was out of the question, that would be to formal in his mind.
Finding a bench in to the shade of a tall elm tree, Tristam sat in the middle with both arms resting above the back rest. With a scanning eye, Tristam gazed absently upon the amount of lovers that strolled the Lane. Butterflies suddenly erupted in a frenzy in his stomach causing him to fidget uncomfortably and look at the ground. He kept telling himself that seeing Piper again was not a date. It was a lie, and he knew it, but denial seemed to give him a maginal feeling of safety.
The accidental meeting at the Lake had caused a ripple effect in his thinking, now he had a hard time focusing on what he wanted. He had wanted to stay single until he graduated, focusing on his goal was a priority. Then having his lost love appear again had him thinking about other parts of his future. Would she fit into them, and was there a future for them?
Bringing his gaze up from the ground he looked up the path toward the castle to see if the girl was walking down it. No luck. With a sigh Tristam put his hands down onto the bench and looked skyward. "She had better not have stood me up. But if she did... I probably deserve it though." Tristam wondered how much longer she would make him wait, even though if she should up right then she would be on time.
