Rosalind Green had expected it to be hard to persuade her son, but as soon as she said she wanted to see Ethan Hawthorne, Adrian Hawthorne agreed.
"I'm going to Tristone the day after tomorrow. Come with me."
Rosalind Green had not been herself lately, always lost in thought. Adrian Hawthorne guessed she must have overheard his conversation with Goldie Thorne the other day. But to his surprise, she wasn't heartbroken. Instead, she was remarkably calm. While her behavior was highly unusual, it did put Adrian Hawthorne's mind at ease somewhat.
"Alright."
Rosalind Green smiled, a sudden sense of anticipation washing over her. 'It's been over four years since I've been back to Tristone. I wonder what it's like now. And my parents, my brother… are they doing alright?'
"I'd like to bring some gifts for your grandfather and uncle. Is that okay?" Rosalind Green asked.
"It's up to you." Of course, Adrian Hawthorne had no objections.
