It looked exactly like Nathan apart from the mole just under his left eye. He had always said that he wanted to get it surgically removed, I thought that was a bit extreme, it was a tiny thing.

I turned to the man and asked, “Excuse me, did you see a guy sitting here... looks a lot like you?”

“No.”

“I don’t mean to bother you, but...”

“Then don’t”

I didn’t know how to respond to that, so I turned back around in my seat.
