Episode 3

SUSANA

After a while, Miss Red walks through the door, and I rush to greet her, as I always try to give my clients a very good first impression.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Red," I tell her while shaking her hand.

"The pleasure is mine," she tells me, and I can see that she's a little uncomfortable, so I try to make her feel as comfortable as possible.

"Why don't you have a seat, and tell me a little about yourself?" I ask her with a smile as I invite her to sit on the sofa in my office and I sit next to her. "Would you like a soda or juice?" I ask her as I get up and walk to the small refrigerator in my office, as I always have something to drink and eat in it, so that clients feel more at ease.

"A little orange juice, if you have some," she tells me, and I take it out and hand her a glass and serve cookies for both of us.

Seeing that she's still a little uncomfortable, I start making small talk until I manage to get her to relax, and she herself begins to give me the information I needed.

"Well, I have what I need now, it's been a most fruitful conversation," I let her know.

"Really?" she asks me, somewhat confused.

"Yes, the best way to find someone is to get to know them," I say.

"Well, it was a little different than I thought," she says with a charming smile.

"They usually tell me that," I tell her, and the fact is that most people believe when they arrive that I will only focus on their tastes regarding the opposite sex, but a partner is more than someone who attracts you, they are your friend, your partner, your lover, and more, that's why I try to get to know all my clients as best as possible.

"Well, it was a thousand times better than I thought, and now what should I do?" she asks me.

"Wait, I'll look for who I think might be the best option for you, and before arranging a date with that person, I'll call you to tell you all about your possible partner, and if you agree to continue, we'll proceed with the date," I explain.

"Well, in that case I will wait for your call," she tells me as she gets up and prepares to leave.

"I'll try to make it as soon as possible," I let her know, and we shake hands again to say goodbye, but this time when I touch her everything is different.

I'm in a forest, it's beautiful, and in the middle of the forest, I see a tall, dark, muscular man with black hair and brown eyes. "Aaron Luire," a voice whispers to me, and then the forest changes to the image of a moon, a beautiful moon that shines like I've never seen it before, a beautiful bright moon.

"Are you okay?" Miss Red asks me, snapping me out of my daydream.

"Yes, I'm fine," I tell her, to which she agrees and heads for the door to leave. "Before you go, could you leave your mask, it would help me a lot," I tell her. She, somewhat confused, takes it off and gives it to me, and when she closes the door, I rush to put it in a plastic bag. "What was that?" I wonder aloud.

I spend the whole day trying to get those images out of my head, but I can't, they come back to me again and again, they're driving me crazy.

I end the day in a terrible mood and the biggest headache I've ever had in my life. I get home hoping that a good night's sleep will help, but it doesn't. What's more, I can barely sleep, the images reappeared in my head all night long, keeping me awake.

"That's it," I yell into the void, and I get up to search my computer for plane tickets to a destination that I don't know exists.

Something inside me was telling me that I had to go to the country of Tommer, since that was where the person I was looking for was, the bad thing was that it was almost on the other side of the world and it wasn't going to be cheap for me, a trip to such a faraway place with less than a day's notice, but I know that if I didn't do it, things in my head would only get worse. So I buy the tickets, and knowing that I wouldn't be able to sleep, I start packing my suitcase.

"What, what?" my friend shouts at me when I arrive at work with my suitcase and let her know I'm leaving for a few days.

"I'm going to Tommer, to the city of Wood," I tell my friend again.

"It has to do with the vision you had when you touched the supermodel," my friend says to me, and the thing is, after what happened with Miss Red, I obviously ran to my friend to tell her, and how I brush it off.

"Yeah, it's driving me crazy," I tell her.

"Well, it must be serious, because you're a cheapskate, the cheapest of cheapskates, and you wouldn't spend that much money unless it was life or death," she tells me.

"And it is. My flight leaves in three hours, so I have to get to the airport as soon as possible, but I couldn't leave without telling you," I say.

"Do your parents know?" she asks.

"Yes, they know, I called them early," I reply.

"And what excuse did you give them?" she asks.

"None, I told them the truth," and the fact is that in my family, honesty is the most important thing.

"And your stepmother didn't want to have you committed?" my friend says with a smile. I know she's holding back laughter, and the fact is that my stepmother is a drama queen, and for her, a small cut is synonymous with bleeding out. I adore her, but sometimes she can be a little intense.

"No, she just recommended a psychiatrist for me to visit if things in Wood don't go well," I told her, which I appreciated, because if the trip was a failure, I was going to need it, since everything pointed to me going crazy.

"Well, in that case, good luck, my friend," she told me.

"Thanks."

I leave our offices and head to the airport. When I arrive, I did all the paperwork, and once I was done, all I had left to do was wait. The truth is, it was crazy, but something told me it was what I had to do, and so far, my intuition hadn't failed me, so why was it going to start now?
