After all, they had no need of separate apartments, now that they had shared themselves fully. But when he asked her, she’d only shaken her head and told him,“Not yet, Zhandar.”He hadn’t insisted, although her refusal troubled him greatly. She seemed happy enough to let matters remain as they were between them, even as the days and then weeks began to pass. And because she came to his apartment nearly every night, only slipping out in the early morning hours so she could go home and prepare herself for work, he told himself that their current arrangement was almost the same as living together.Almost.The Gaians, he had heard, had quite elaborate wedding rituals, with special clothing and music and flowers, and the Eridanis celebrated their matches by spending at least a month traveling to new places so the married couple could form new memories together. They were not quite as formal here on Zhoraan, of course. The physical communion he and Zhanna had shared was quite enough to prove their intention of spending the rest of their lives together.
