Nema and Ava had to scan them to ensure internal scanners were properly aligned before any cargo was shipped in. They walked down a wide, massive corridor used to ferry cargo from bay to bay. Every footstep echoed. “I’m not distracted,” Ava suddenly answered when she stopped thinking long enough to consider Nema’s question. Nema snorted. “Yeah, sure, that’s why you keep sighing. But it’s totally okay to be distracted, considering what happened to you yesterday. I can’t believe you’re back at work already.” “I’m fine.” Nema gave a long-suffering sigh. “If you were anyone else, I wouldn’t believe that. But because you’re you – the bravest damn person I have ever met – I guess you’re right. So what’s distracting you then?” Ava dropped her gaze. “Come on. I knew you have to keep a lot bottled up for cultural reasons, but unload what you can.”
