Marie Shaftsbury had been there for five mornings now and Fox had to admit that they had not been unpleasant ones. Waking up beside a lover was not an experience Fox had had that often and, from what Marie had said, the same was true of her. For Fox, there had been no one special enough before Pieter, and then he had died and there had been no one since. Thinking about it, since Pieter, Fox had kept away from emotional attachment, even if there had been some stress relief. Marie was, she thought, more than just stress relief.‘I’m awake,’ Marie mumbled, proving that she was not asleep, but that was about as good as it got.‘Stay in bed, if you want,’ Fox replied. ‘I’ve got a meeting. I’ll be on telepresence for a while.’ She pulled open a drawer and took out one of the bodysuits she favoured, in purple as usual.‘No… I’ll get up and eat. I’ve got a coaching session at ten.’Fox pulled on her suit. ‘Okay, coffee will be waiting.’ Then she padded out, closing her suit as she went, to find Kit waiting beside the coffee machine.The fox-girl AI avatar was dressed in her usual white bodice and short, white skirt, and her white, high-heeled knee-high boots.
