Bethany hands me a glass of chilled white wine, and I sit with the other women in the living room of our bridal wing. They all look at me with a mixture of curiosity and fear. Madeline’s eyes are red and puffy, as if she’s been crying. Sophia rubs her back to comfort her. And I know she must be missing her sister and worried that she might already be dead.

The truth is, everyone we have ever known and loved has been gone for a thousand years. It is inconceivable. But we must come to accept it, even though I don’t know how I can myself. There must be something wrong with my brain. Whatever I was injected with on the ship was activated when I was matched with Jaxxo. Now it’s like I’m some primal beast in heat. I’ve thought little of the people I left behind on Earth.

“What did he do to you?” Bobby asks me.

“What do you mean ‘what did he do to me’?”

“Did he try to mate with you?”

“No,” I snap. I don’t know whether I’m angrier at her suggestion that he was anything but a gentleman or the fact that he was a complete and total gentleman.

“What happened?” Bethany asks.

“If you must know, he took me for lunch at a very nice restaurant overlooking the skyline of the city. The food was delicious. The conversation was congenial. Then we went back to his house, which is more like an estate, if I’m being honest. It’s on the beach and totally beautiful. We watched a movie together. It’s funny. That movie was just coming out in theaters when we left. Now it’s basically an archaeological relic here.”

Sophia starts to cry softly into her hands. And now Madeline is comforting her.

“They aren’t taking it very well,” Bobby informs me, as if that fact isn’t obvious.

“We are all missing home,” Bethany says. “But we’ve discussed this at length. There’s nothing we can do. Madeline, I’m grieving Abigail too. I wish it were different. We’ve all lost people who we left behind on Earth.”

“There has to be a way,” Madeline says.

Up until now, Madeline has been so strong. One of the strongest among us. But I guess that the reality of our predicament is finally sinking in, and she realizes that she will never see her sister again. I already miss my mom and my grandma.

And the thought of never seeing them again catches in my throat, and I gulp it down. I know that if I think about it too much, I’ll start crying too. I’m going to have to process these emotions eventually, but right now, I just can’t let myself.

With my new budding relationship with Jaxxo, the confusion and pain of losing my family, my planet, and everything I’ve ever known, would create a confusing mass of turmoil that I don’t know if I could ever climb out of.

Every time I’m near Jaxxo, my body responds so powerfully that it overpowers every other thought and emotion.
