coup?” Kaci asked.

“A failed one. Too many of the new leaders stayed with the Alliance. I’m sure they’ll try again,” Briar explained. “Tell us what happened on Terronda? What was it like?”

“Horrible,” I answered at the same time Kaci said, “Wonderful.”

Laughing, she questioned, “Which was it?”

Our eyes locked and I answered, “Both.”

We told them about our time on Terronda. I loved watching Kaci tell the stories. She was so animated. I fell a little more in love with her. Soon, I was wrapped up in listening to one of them.

I began to dream a little, thinking of how we could take care of Caspar and find my people. We could cruise around the universe together and have those adventures she always wanted to go on. We would learn everything there was to know about one another. Maybe there could be a happy ending.

Then I thought about the Authority. Even if Caspar was out of the way, we were still fugitives. I couldn’t bring Kaci into a life of living on the run. I wouldn’t. She deserved normal. She deserved happiness. I couldn’t give that to her. I wiped away a tear before anyone had a chance to see it.

“I see the way you two look at each other,” Briar confronted me when I walked onto the bridge.

We were alone, but I still looked around the room to make sure. I was sure she could see the blood rush to my face. “She’s pretty.”

“She’s beautiful. So are you. But it’s more than that.”

“I’m attracted to her. That’s all.”

She huffed and rolled her eyes. “It’s so much more than that, Ever. You need to tell her how you feel.”

“I can’t. She deserves more than a life on the run from Caspar and the Authority.”

“You could have other options. You won’t know unless you talk to her.”

Crossing the room, I went to my control pad. I tapped it a few times and my profile popped up on the screen. It had a picture of me and then a list of things I was wanted for by the Authority. “Theft, destruction of property, assault, murder. This is who I am. Who we all are.”

“Not because we want to be.”

“Do you think that matters to the Authority? Will they wipe away the charges because we didn’t want to be like this?”

“Of course not, but we’re not cold-blooded killers. That means something to her. She understands.”

“Maybe, but the Authority will always be after us and I can’t drag her into a life like that. I have to bring her home and forget about her.”

“Just like that? No matter how either of you feels?”

“It’s what she deserves.”

“I know you think that, but do something for me. Talk to her. Tell her how you feel. See where she stands with all this.”

“Fine,” I agreed, more to get her to shut up than anything. A small part of me hoped that maybe there was a way and maybe by talking to her we could figure it out.
