( @providencepeakstarters )

he’s been standing in front of a food stand for a twenty minutes now. a hand in his pocket while he squints up at the menu and watching what other people order.

only until he realizes he’s been blocking someone’s view for quite some time.

“ sorry—“ he managed bashfully, ducking and shuffling a little bit to the left. hand raises to rub at the back of his neck, hesitating to say anything more for just a moment.

“ I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many different types of crepes in my life. “ santiago began, chuckling under his breath. It was almost a little ridiculous. he blinked for a few moments in silence, finger and thumb rubbing near his chin and cheek.

“ you wouldn’t happen to suggest anything..would you? “

Location: Bighorn Hills

Status: Closed for Santiago

Event: Bonfire Bash

Context: Imogen is heading home when she spots her husband completely out of the blue on her way back to her car.

Tagging: @santiago-rosales

The event was ending or drawing to a close and Imogen had her jacket draped over her arm and was reaching for her keys when she spotted a familiar face, almost ran into him actually. It was a weird sensation to know that a person was so embedded deeply into her life that her body without even looking knew he was there. It came in the form of goosebumps, the all over body shiver like she had just come in contact with a ghost. In fact the last thing she ever expected to find was Santiago here, it wasn't like she broadcasted to everyone where she was in fact fleeing to so the fact that one of the lawyers must have disclosed to him made her rather annoyed.

"Don't tell me you're here to do what I think you're going to do" it wasn't that she was mad at him because technically he hadn't really done anything wrong, it was more like she ran on him when things got too serious, got too real or the conversation was heading somewhere where she just didn't feel too comfortable; "Because you can't change my mind" if anything she had been trying to force the entire interaction back into the depths of her mind in fear of it being brought up again but it looked as though it was becoming apparent that she was being forced to face it regardless.

Who would have thought two people who had been together for over ten years would pick the same town to run away to? Not Santiago. So after the little event, hands in his pockets somber—while he walked to his car alone and practically smacked right into his wife?

His blood ran cold and his throat ran dry, hands twitching to wrap themselves around her. She was her usual fiery self while he just stood there in silence, blinking while she practically snarled at him.

Giving her some space, he took a few steps back, gently holding his hands up in an attempt to ease her. “ Don’t worry—I’m not. “ Ouch.

“ And I know. “

He stood a little taller, taking a deep breath that got stuck halfway in his chest just looking at her. Tired eyes paired with a lopsided smile, shoulders giving a shrug. It just felt cruel seeing her here.

Santiago chuckled under his breath, tongue flicking over his lower lip while he hung his head. He was holding back of course. So much he wanted to say. But perhaps she had a good night and he didn’t want to ruin it.

He bit his lip, meeting her gaze once more.

“ It’s just purely coincidental. “

The unfortunate truth. Because it was.

“ I swear to you I had no idea you’d be here. “
