A Fevered Dream

Willow stared at the white tombstone as Tristan kneeled before it. “Arianna D’Vanden-Plas” was etched across the stone with a fancy script. Tristan’s tears fell onto the mound of his mother’s grave. She’d never seen him get emotional and there was something about seeing the Governor’s son break down that made Tristan more real to her. Less like everything that she’d otherwise expect from a Vanden-Plas. His mother had obviously replaced her family name for the Governor’s, but upon seeing the D’ prefix, Willow immediately knew something about Tristan’s mother that she hadn’t known before. In fact, very little was known about the women in the Vanden-Plas household. Tristan’s mother must have never have married the Governor, but instead was one of the few acknowledged mistresses allowed to use the Governor’s name. It was considered a privilege, but it turned Willow’s stomach thinking about it.

Tristan stood, wiping tears from his face, and gazed at a nearby hill. He held out his hand and gave Willow a weak smile. “Sorry, I didn’t think it would hit me quite like this. Want to see where I really grew up?”

Willow took his hand and nodded silently. As they walked up the steep incline of the grassy hill, she wasn’t sure what to say. Clearly his mother had meant a lot to him, and something about that that made her feel warm inside. It was good to know that Tristan could be moved in that way. He was still a caring and attentive son, even though his mother had been dead for years.

They crested the hill and Tristan pointed at an abandoned-looking wooden building. “My mother’s workshop and where I grew up.”

Willow stared at the dilapidated building and wondered aloud, “Really?”

Chuckling, Tristan remarked, “Not exactly what you expected, eh?” Still holding her hand, he led Willow straight for the building. “Come on, let me give you a tour.”
