We were both present when this friend extended the invitation and it was to happen 2 days later. Once we were invited to have dinner at a friends house. I was confused to say the least but let the issue pass. When I asked her why she was doing that, she replied 'doing what? Are you okay?'. After about five seconds I turned back around to see Tomie lifting the bake out of the oven as if I hadnt done it mere seconds before.

Shortly after, i turned around, looked out the window, still conversing with the girl. I grabbed a towel and took it out of the oven. Tomie checked her watch and told me that the bake was ready to be taken from the oven as it had finished cooking. We were conversing, laughing, everything was pleasant. Tomie and I were cooking together one day. There was never any gratitude shown by her for my reassurance, just an intense recognition. In hindsight, her split shift in response was actually quite fiendish. At the time, I was relieved to know that her emotional suffering had ended so suddenly. Her crying stopped immediately and she looked up smiling at me. I told her to be more kind to herself and reassured her that not only was she a good person, she was a great person. I was taken aback by this as at that time she meant the world to me. Shocked and concerned I asked what was wrong. When I found her she was hunched over in the corner. I had no idea what her dramatic change in emotions could have been regarding. Eventually a friend found me to let me know that she was crying. A couple hours pass and I can no longer see 'Tomie'. The venue was spacious with many attending and at some point we had split from eachother to speak with different people. Instances youd seen with your very eyes never happened.Įarly into the relationship, we were both at a party. The way she manipulated every situation and lied so perfectly to the extent that she recreated the past in your own mind. It became horrifying, though, when I began a relationship with her and fell totally in love with her, just like in the story. I had the pleasure of meeting Romie personally on several occasions.
