Tristan didn't see them for two years… closer to three now.
He watched the progress of his brother's career through news, but he always tried to keep away from news about his parents.
At first, he feared they would search for him, and at the same time wanted them to. Then he just didn't want to hear them excuse his disappearance from the public…
And praise his brother.
Tristan realized he was gritting his teeth and forcefully relaxed. He took a flute of champagne from the snack table and drank it in three gulps.
It helped a little.
Norah and Harry Hayes went on to greet the host and shake hands with guests, paying no attention to Tristan.
It stung, despite being stupid.
What stung much more was the color of the thread between Tristan and the pair. It was an ugly mixture of red and black from Tristan's side, and colorless from theirs.
