Chapter 4: Jonathan

I spent most of the day prowling around Trinity’s castle, remarking quietly to myself that so much had changed since I lived here last. Trinity had changed so much since I had last seen here. Where was the girl who needed someone with her? Where was the girl who sought everyone’s approval? I think that girl left me long before I left Trinity, and I just never realized it.

I had always been in love with Trinity. But the day she told me to grow up was the day that I knew I would love her forever. She changed in that moment and has continued to change since I had been gone. She was sexier now than she had ever been, but hand in hand she was much more goal oriented. Now Trinity thought about practicality and honesty and who would be there in the end. I need Trinity, I always have, but to win her back. . . I’m not sure how to do that anymore.

Towards the evening I walked out to the gardens. When we first lived here, Trinity spent all of her free time walking the forest to come home and plan this garden, and her favorite part was the rose garden in the center. Which is exactly where I found myself entering. Trinity knew I was there before I knew she was there. She came from around the corner.

“Jonathan.” Her voice was like velvet.

“Trinity.” As said her name, her eyes changed from the light amythest they normally were to a dark purple, “I thought you were sleeping.”

“It’s almost sundown, and I came back out.” Trinity betrayed no emotions.

I could think of nothing to say to her, but I needed to say something after last night, “Will you be meeting with the scientists this evening? Gerald had expressed wanting information on that.”

“I will be.” She glanced down at her watch, “We have a meeting in an hour. Would you care to join in the meeting Jonathan?”

As I nodded to her, she turned and began to walk towards the castle. She glanced over her shoulder at me and said, “Jonathan, one hour, my office.” In the voice she used to have.
