Yikes, if they are supposed to be a couple, and he doesn't return -- trying to decide if that means dead or not. If not, Cathy and Anton?

If he's dead and they WERE a couple... hmmm, dunno. If they're not a couple but he's dead, Alistair McKeon.


You combined My hints with Rose's lol "oops"

This almost seems like When Oversteegen walkined in to the party with W.E.B. Duhavel.

This is obviously Javier and Eloise while they are deceiving St. Just about the extent of their relationship.

And now I'm back in the game:

We live on borrowed time
No one can be sure when the loan will finally come due
But I'm loving all of mine, I know what time is for -
I've borrowed it so I can spend it all right here with you...
Cup of tea? Yes, please.

LOL, that's even better than who I was thinking of!! How about bonus credit? I'm not sure if Oversteegen is that vain, but I do know someone who would poke him really hard in that direction anyway.
