He put his head on her shoulder and was quiet for so long she thought he’d fallen to sleep but just as she started to get up, he said, “He wasn’t with her.”
Shanee frowned. “Who, ehemann?”
“Acklard,” he said. “He wasn’t with her on R-9 and he’s out there doing the gods only know what.”

“They’re still looking for Chiaroscuro,” she said. “When they find it, we’ll go after him.”
“And kill the bastard who hurt me,” he said, his voice muffled by the drug.
“Aye, and kill the bastard who hurt you.”
She heard his breathing slow and knew he was asleep. She eased his head from her shoulder and bent over to kiss his brow.
He was such a handsome man and her heart and soul belonged entirely to him.
Tomorrow would be time enough to tell him about the baby growing inside her.
