The Pearl (Galactic Jewels Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
“Morning.” She rubbed her eyes. “How was it?” I tipped my cup, draining the last swallow of the warm nectar, buying me time to let the heaviness of the morning drain away while she came over. I grinned. “Best birthday yet.” After a lopsided sleepy hug, she wandered into the closet. I stood and shook my arms and legs, forcing the trapped energy of my deep morning musing to dissipate. “What time do we dock?” she yelled from behind the wall. “Three hours.” I grabbed my new cup of coffee. “Really?” Her voice cracked. She hopped forward, yanking off her skirt. “Rift! Sorry. I thought we’d have more time.” “It’s fine,” I said, ordering a mug for her. “We’ll work together.” She hurriedly pulled on a kimono and took a huge gulp of the searing hot coffee that would have decimated my mouth. “Hair first, or makeup?” “You decide.” Beside the closet, the room opened into a vast prep area dotted with mirrors, plush couches, and a single chair in the center and ringed with mirrors.
