After his body had failed him the previous date. Forcing them to miss the date that Ariel had planned out. He had truly thought that she would insist that they pick up where they had left off.
But she had not.
"We can't turn back time. I do not think I would enjoy restaurant hopping as much now. Just pick something, and next time will be my turn,"
She might not have said anything, but Tristan felt as though he owed Ariel a great deal because she had taken care of them when he'd been sick.
"I am sorry I ruined your date night," He'd apologized more than once, and she had brushed him off each and every single time.
"It is fine Tristan. It is not like it is something that you did on purpose. You simply were not well and I do not hold that against you," Once again Tristan was struck by how understanding she was. He knew people. who did not accept any excuses no matter how valid they were.
