Ever since they had gotten married, Tristan had done his absolute best to be as honest with Ariel as possible. But a few days before, he had lied to her for the very first time. Ariel had asked him if he felt as though something was wrong, as though there was a darkness waiting for them. In that moment he had wanted to just open his mouth and say
'Yes, yes, I definitely feel that there is danger lurking in the shadows waiting for us. I have been unable to shake the feeling no matter how hard I try,' But in a bid to spare Ariel to make her worry less, Tristan had instead chosen to lie. He'd told her that it was mostly just leftover emotions. But if Ariel were suffering from leftover emotions after the whole Maya thing, then Tristan was too. But he highly doubted that that was the case.
