I pulled back and remembered what I was doing. Investing Investigating.
I looked at the dates Alex/Sparrow had posted the photo—11/13.
And there she was.
The photographer. Untagged. Nameless.
And I had no idea
none
who she was.
All this time, I thought if I could glimpse her, I would know.
I checked all of Alex/Sparrow’s profile. I checked all of his friends for someone who looked like her. I went back and checked all of Ariel’s pictures, all of Ariel’s friends.
No recognition.
No similarities.
She knew me, but I didn’t know her.
So then I did something stupid. I didn’t think about it. I just did it.
I sent Alex/Sparrow a message.
