It feels like yesterday that Violet Gallant was the first born child in Tesime and now we find her moved onto her own lot with her bridegroom, Jorn Benet. It didn't take long for Jorn to wonder though if her parents forgot a letter in her name and meant to call her violent instead :-o Mama Rose Gallant had taught Violet that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach and to make up for her less than hospitable behaviour Violet set about cooking a belly busting meal for her new husband. Jorn wasn't a total fool though and still remained on edge whenever she got close. In spite of a few rough patches he was taken with Violet's charm and was soon crushing on her harder than a satellite crash. Violet was beginning to warm up to Jorn as well but try as she might she was finding it difficult to hide her bristly side.
Wanting to prove her acceptance of this new pairing Violet called her father, Tre Gallant, and had him come by. She hoped that if both men got along well she would behave more like a loving wife should. After all her home life had been wonderful and her mother a role model wife. Seeing both men together Violet knew that Jorn was the right choice for her. That night before turning in, Jorn looked at Violet with those exotic gray eyes of his and pulled her close for their very first kiss. It was perfect ! As she swooned Violet thought maybe this wasnt going to be such a bad life after all.
A few days later some neighbours dropped by to see how things were progressing. Everyone got along well and enjoyed the perfect weather that Tesime normally offered. That night Violet grabbed a pouch and went to collect some fireflies. They cast such a romantic light inside their hut. While they slept a terrific storm blew through Tesime. The wind howled and the lightning lit up the sky. Inside their dwelling Violet was taken with sharp cramps and knew she would need to go outside to relieve herself. Once she was finished she stepped outside the latrine and BAM lightning stuck. She screamed as the bolt went through the top of her head to the the ground and Jorn rushed outside to see what had happened. Shocked ( haha pun intended ) at the vision before him he got her quickly back into the sleeping hut and tended to her wounds while she slept.
