When Hallan decided it was time to make a second attempt to find a partner, he took in his options. No matter what, his next union would be for life. The only issue was none of his female companions ever sparked him.

Knowing he had to get to the act of settling down, he researched an arranged partnership. At least in this manner he could choose the characteristics he wanted and not be judged. Several of his friends and colleagues had taken a similar route to find their partner.

Many of his prospects rejected him the moment he divulged his past and then, at last, he found Amsen’s family unit. They accepted his past failure, only asking that he didn’t discuss the matter with their daughter. Since it was not his favorite subject, he agreed.

Rather than opting for a courtship that could taint his view of his future mate, make him be too picky, he chose to wait until their pledging ceremony to meet his female. The moment Amsen took his hand he was taken with his gorgeous partner. There was something about simply entering the relationship knowing they were committed that deepened his feelings for her instantly.

Now five days into their pledging time, he could barely take his eyes off his partner. Was this supposed to be completely consuming? He had lost sight of everything including the time. According to the time block they were supposed to be relaxing or reading, and all he could do was wait for her to enter the room. Though he tried to adhere to their schedule, everything was off, and he had to get them back on track. They had their Union Ceremony coming up, their life needed to get into a routine, a lot to accomplish.

“Hallan.” Amsen fluttered into the room holding a tub of modeling paste he ordered for her at some point, he couldn’t remember when anymore. “Look.”

He put aside the document he wasn’t reading and motioned for her to sit with him.

“I made this for you.” She curled up next to him and presented him with a little molded bowl.

“You made it?” He gently took the offering and studied the little vessel. She had carved an intricate little geometric pattern on the outside and inside was their initials.

She answered with a light giggle. “Do we still have recreation time?”

Unsure about what time it was, he nodded anyway. “Why do you ask?” She rarely used the time blocks, choosing instead to ask him what they should be doing. Normally, she asked when they would join again. They may or may not have decided that any time was time for joining. In truth, he couldn’t stay out of her. If she were anywhere near her fertile time, they would most definitely be adding an offspring to their residence, ready or not.

“I thought you could make me something.” She took the bowl from him, put it on the side table and then placed the tub in his lap.

He glanced down at the white shapeless mass wanting to be turned into something.
