The man she ran into seemed kind enough. There wasn’t a “hey watch where you’re going” or anything. Just a simple “no harm done.” He even picked up her wallet and handed it to her. She muttered a thank you and then she actually looked at him. The Roman in front of her looked strangely familiar - not that she had met him, but more like she had seen him in a passing glance - multiple times.
Anna realized that she had been staring at the man. He was a good looking guy, but it was the familiarity that kept her gaze. ”Sorry. You look familiar but I can’t place you…” Anna said turning her gaze away.
Anna’s eyes landed on a nearby magazine stand and she blinked as she saw the cover of one. The man she had run into was in the picture next to a pretty blonde woman that she recognized. Unlike the man, Anna remembered where she had seen this woman. Anna had danced with her at Nox’s building not too long ago. Anna’s eyes moved back and forth from the man to the magazine cover, until he laughed.
”Yeah, that’s me,” he said, his voice fairly humble.
”You’re Emily’s husband,” it wasn’t a question, but it did cause the man to raise an eyebrow.
”I am. Are you a friend of hers?”
Anna smiled. ”I don’t know her well, but we met. She stayed the night at the building I’m currently at. I’m a good friend of Elyse’s. Anna Rodriguez,”
Anna stretched out her hand as she introduced herself, and the man took it, his grasp firm, but not crushing. ”Jared Vanders. A pleasure.”
Anna gave a slight smile. ”Pleasure is mine. How’s Emily doing? And how’s Rachel?” the poor girl had gone through quite the ordeal and Anna hoped she was okay.
