The girl with auburn hair looked up at him, puzzled. Than her eyes came to rest on the silver watch in his hand and she shoved past him and into the apartment.
Unwanted guests rarely understand that they are unwanted and even if they do, they choose to ignore that fact as they sit down at your table and pour themselves a nice cup of tea and ask you to please pass the sugar. You pass them the sugar like any good host but unlike a good host you sit there thinking of all the ways you can convince your unwanted guest to leave. If you have ever had an unwanted guest in her house, someone you hadn't wished to see at a time you wished to be alone, than you can understand how Travis felt as this girl shoved past him. Of course, this guest did not sit herself down to tea nor did she want any sugar. But Travis was thinking of ways to convince this new guest to leave.
He had already come to the realization that this auburn haired girl was not Quinn. But she resembled Quinn. And that was enough so Travis did not want to see her.
He pointed to the door which she had left open. He opened his mouth but closed it quickly. The words had frozen on his tongue. She stared at him unblinking. He tried again opening and closing his mouth and still the words would not come.
"You look like a fish." These were the first words the unwanted guest spoke.
I will spare you from reading about Travis' temper. I will spare you the bitter words that boomed from his mouth. I will also spare you from reading about her stubbornness and thus I will spare you from reading her rude response. I will, however, tell you that a certain silver watch with a certain engraving that had started this whole mess, did hit the wall behind the girl with auburn hair. And I will tell you that a glass vase did shatter on the door frame behind Travis.
I will also tell you that this brief, for yes it was a very brief fight, did end with Travis tied to a chair...
