"I am an acquired taste," she said. "It takes a good bit of time to get to know me too which is another thing that we can have in common." Tristan Carter

He laughed. "I would say more like a top shelf acquired taste," he said. "It simply means that you know what you want and go after it which is a wonderful business take but as far as people interactions well it does not always work so well but everyone is different and even a broken clock is right twice a day."

"I'm not from here at least not from this year and I guess this is the first time that I have taken the time to admit it. I think that I have taken the time to think about it so it is a life change and I have such a wonderful family that i need to talk to them about it but what does one really say? Hey I am not having such an easy time with this and need to talk to someone before it drives me crazy?" She sighed. "Not what I think either one of my parents would want to hear but I mean I never know but I am not a whinging woman just a lost one." Tristan Carter

"Well that might be something that you have in common with my niece. She does not tell me everything but I am family and I know her better than she would think so even though she is thinking that she is keeping things from me then that is not a thing that she could keep away from me because I love her and I would do what I could to help her and I am sure that yours would do the same."

"You're a wise man," she said. "Now for the hard questions, Tristan who did you hurt that you are so completely turned off of love?" because that was the only way she could see why he was blocking her the way that he was. Tristan Carter

"Her name was Serra, we got along well even talked about you know those big life steps and whatever but then some people who thought we should not be together took her from me. I think that is why my niece wanted me to come here, it's been two years Leila, two years when you love someone and no longer have them kind of turns you off from thinking love might be a real thing." He smiled. "I guess that's just me and my old man ways setting in but you I see you. If things were different I guess you sort of remind me of her in a way." Leila Rodriguez

"No wonder it seemed like I triggered you," she said. "That sucks and I am sorry about that because that is nothing that no one should have to go through and you know she is probably right. Getting out helps." Tristan Carter

"It's alright," he said. "I mean we live and learn and you are probably right but at the end of the day I feel like I would have been fine but sometimes as I told you familyknows better and you need to get off this pier, let's go get some food." Leila Rodriguez

A few days had passed and they had agreed to meet up again this time in an art gallery. It was an empty place but open to the public and she did not know if he was into art but she thought it was a nice way for her to show him that she cared about other interests. "Thanks for meeting me," she said. Tristan Carter

He had not expected an art date. He knew this was a date because what else was it when someone took you to see art plus as little people as there was also was another sign but he waved as he seen Leila. Their last meeting when they had finally talked seemed to help the both of them so he was not going to be as harsh on her. "I love art," he said. He had no idea how she knew but the fact that she seemed to have picked up on it was good enough by him. Leila Rodriguez

"Well after everything I figured that a man like this was into art and I mean everything that a person does speaks about them and you were quiet. Anyway I only rented this place for a few hours so we need to hurry if we want to look at all of the pieces and if you are going to be able to give me a decent explanation of them." Tristan Carter

"Oh well that is different but okay which corner of the room would you like to start in? I might know enough depending on the art pieces that they have in here to get us through." Leila Rodriguez

"Do you have a favorite artist?" she asked as they walked. "Like if you could own just one piece of art from someone it would be this artist without much question." She was interested in a true answer for once. Tristan Carter

"Not off the top of my head but before I got here I was always looking into different ones. It can be a little long winded sometimes but then when you start discovering more of their work and see how much of a story that it tells it becomes more interesting as time goes on." Leila Rodriguez

The new year had came in and she had learned a little bit about art but now they were just talking and chilling which she found was not that bad. "Okay so what's your favorite board game then?" Tristan Carter
