It was the first time in a month she’d gotten to bed before midnight, and now she couldn’t sleep. Luke had stayed for several hours. They’d eaten dinner, visited Moonfire in her stal, and generally avoided any subject more serious than whether vanilla or chocolate was the more popular flavor of ice cream.

She punched at her pillow, only to hear Squash’s bad-tempered marrooow at the movement. Squash had moved to a corner of the mattress after she’d rolled over for the third time, probably figuring it was safer than being next to her.

She hadn’t examined her feelings for a long while—as far as she’d been concerned, it was simply a question of when things at the U-2 would settle down enough that she could marry Luke.
