thought of how protective and gentle Ben was with her. The past week had been like a dream. She met him each day after her shift in one of the access tunnels. They varied which one so it would reduce the likelihood of them getting caught.
    Each night he took her to a different spot in the lower levels. One night he had a simple meal set up. They ate dinner and they talked for hours. Another night, he played his music for her. She loved listening to it. Last night he had kissed her until her head spun. She wanted him. Tonight, tonight she was going to make sure he knew how much she cared for him.
    Evetta looked at her sister. “I love him, Hanine. I want to be with him.”
    Hanine gasped and stepped back. “Evetta, are you sure?”
    “Yes,” Evetta whispered softly. “I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life.”
    *.*.*
    Hanine watched her sister’s face soften. She could tell that Evetta meant what she said. She really did care for this ‘alien’ male. Fear twisted inside her. What would happen to her sister if others found out? Would she be killed just like her mother had been?
    “I want to meet him,” Hanine replied. “I will do what I can to help protect you and your male. You have my loyalty as long as he is the one you want and feels the same. But know this, Evetta. If I find he is using you, I will slit his throat.”
    Hanine watched as amusement lit up Evetta’s face. “You will see he is not using me, Hanine. You will love him as much as I do. Just do not…just do not judge him by his appearance. He is very different from us,” Evetta begged quietly.
    Hanine couldn’t help but think of her own unusual admirer. She had carefully hidden the small creatures away from sight but she kept the small pink square from last week with her at all times.
    Can I keep you? Forever?
    The words were etched into her heart as surely as if whoever gave her the small creature had been a skilled healer. Every day, she found a different creature. Every day, she grew more desperate to know who would give her such beautiful gifts but refuse to come forward.
    She carefully observed each of her peers but none of them acted any different toward her. None of the sensors she set up detected anyone passing through the doorways. She had even expanded the range to include the outer lifts. Still, only authorized personnel came and went.
    “I am off for the next hour. Let us go so I can meet this male who has captured your heart,” Hanine replied. “And I promise not to judge him by his appearance.”
    “Thank you,” Evetta said.
    “Do not thank me yet, sister,” Hanine retort with a grin. “I promised I would not judge his appearance. I didn’t say anything about his character!”
    Evetta’s lilting laughter sounded strangely soothing after so many years of silence. It brought back memories of happier times. Hanine hoped that this strange male didn’t silence it forever.

Chapter 6

    Evetta glanced around before she knocked on the service access door twice, paused and knocked one more time. If it hadn’t been for Ben’s brother, Aaron, Evetta would never have known the panel in the wall was actually a doorway. She had learned more about the warship in the past week than she had in the past two years.
    Hanine was keeping watch to make sure no one else was near. She glanced at the tablet in her hand that monitored all the heat signatures on the level. She frowned when she saw two on the other side of the wall.
    “Wait,” Hanine hissed, looking in warning at Evetta. “There are two heat signatures.”
    Evetta smiled reassuringly at Hanine. “That is Ben’s brother, Aaron. He knows all the access tunnels. He comes with Ben to make sure we do not get lost.”
    “Oh,” Hanine said with a feeling of unease. “You didn’t mention there were two aliens.”
    “Relax, Hanine. Aaron is very sweet as well. He is no threat,” Evetta responded as the panel opened. “Come.”
