Chapter Six

Larimar woke the next morning with Abbie curled against his side. He watched the light from the suns play across her face as it streamed through the window, and marveled at how beautiful she was. Every time he really took the time to look at her, it left him speechless that someone like her could want an older man like him. She could have anyone she wanted, and yet she seemed to have chosen him. With everything that had been going on, he hadn’t had time to ask if she would be his mate, but he wanted to do it soon. Now that her ideas for improving their society would be put into place, he didn’t have to worry about her tiring of this place. He did still worry a little that she would regret being mated to someone older, but as Borgoz had pointed out, age didn’t seem to matter.

Larimar eased out of bed so he wouldn’t disturb Abbie and pulled on a pair of loose pants before going to his office. He had a smaller Vid-comm in there, along with a unit similar to Earth’s computers, where he stored all of his notes from the council meetings. The council calendar was kept there as well. He reviewed his schedule, surprised to see that his presence wasn’t required at the next few council meetings. Borgoz had mentioned giving him some extra time, but he hadn’t realized how much. Had it been a mistake?

Pulling up Borgoz’s number on the Vid-comm, he dialed the Chief Councilor and hoped he wouldn’t wake everyone else in the household. When Borgoz answered, he was shirtless and looked rumpled from sleep.

“I apologize for disturbing you at such an early hour,” Larimar said.

“I was awake. Arabella isn’t feeling well and she was up and down all night. I’ve already notified the council to either convene without me or postpone everything for a day or two.”

“I noticed I was taken off the meetings,” Larimar said. “Is there a reason?”

“I have a job for you. Well, for you and Abbie. I want you to take her to Earth. Using the portable Vid-comm, record some of the things she’d like to bring to our world so that when she submits her survey, we can include some clips for those females not from Earth so they will better understand what she hopes to bring here.”

“When should we leave?” Larimar asked.

“Today would be good, but she’ll need a physical to make sure she’s still in good health. Arabella seemed fine yesterday, but whatever this is hit her fast and hard. I’m waiting on Vyrex to get here. I didn’t want to carry her to the clinic with as poorly as she feels.”

“Understood. I’ll take Abbie to get checked out today. And I hope Arabella is feeling better soon.”

Borgoz nodded. “Me too. I’m not sure what’s worse. Being jolted awake by her screaming, or being unable to help her. I called Vyrex hours ago, but both he and Bancheck went to the outer provinces to help those communities.
