Elyse’s memory of people she had met briefly had never been too exceptional unless she had photographed them. She was constantly studying her work, trying to make it better or just to get inspiration for the next shoot she would go on. This one though… it hadn’t been brief... if it had been that brief she wouldn’t have even looked twice. “No, you know you ju-“ It was when he had gained an expression of thought, one that made it obvious that he was trying to do just what she was: remember. “Oh. “
Her lips parted lightly as a grin slowly made its way onto her face. Now she remembered. The name? Not so much, she was the worst when it came to names but him? Yeah, she remembered. He had been the solider she photographed on the base in southern California. Well, she hadn’t just photographed him. “I was sent to your base about a year or so ago. I photographed you.” Her eyebrows raised, the grin unable to leave her lips. How ironic. How did he end up here? She didn’t remember him when she was younger. Unless he moved here and then went into the military? Wow, thank god it hadn’t been a messy one or this might have just been the icing on the cake. Her hand then rested on her face, her pinky curling under her chin, “Hi.” She couldn’t help but be utterly amused by the entire situation.
