Going Off on Tangents

I walked over to the elderly gentleman. From up close, he looked familiar. Very familiar. I was not someone who forgot faces, and this was one I vaguely knew but couldn't place. 

"I think you are looking for me?" I asked softly. The man looked relieved and nodded. 

"I was. I saw you and recognized you immediately." He tried to give me a smile but it looked more like a grimace. 

"I have a vague recognition of your face but I don't recall who you are. Have we met before?" I asked. I glanced towards Harshit and saw that he was tense about something. Probably not a good connection between these two people.

"Evie, let me introduce you to Ross Reynolds. He was Sebastian's mentor about seven years ago," he said in a low voice. Harshit scrutinized my emotions carefully. 

I blocked any emotion from appearing on my face.
