Chapter 1

WILLOW LOOKED AROUND the tiny room she was going to call home for the rest of the month. The bed was smaller than she expected, even for an interstellar cruise ship, and there were no windows. That’s what she got for trying to skimp on her trip, though. The cost of the excursion was already so high before adding luxuries like windows or extra-large beds that she had chosen not to spring for those things.

Willow had been saving for years to take this trip. She didn’t want to waste any extra cash on things she didn’t really need. Only now, as she stared at the tiny, plain space, she wondered if she had made a mistake. She’d seen Ashley’s room. It was big. There was a large, double bed covered in soft pillows and blankets. The in-room bathroom was huge, too. It was almost as big as the suite itself with a bathtub and a shower.

Willow couldn’t believe it. Her family had money, but Ashley’s was positively loaded. Willow couldn’t imagine something as spectacular as a bathtub on her trip, but then, she might as well not even think about it. She would be sharing a bathroom with several other females in her hall. She didn’t even have the pleasure of showering alone, and Ashley had a bathtub.

Placing her bag on the tiny bed, Willow walked around the room once more. It wasn’t as horrible as she thought it was at first. It was plain, to be sure, but there was a large floor-to-ceiling mirror and a little desk she could sit at when she wasn’t sleeping.

Not that Willow planned to spend much time in her room.

No, her time on the ship would be spent at the on-board night club or wandering around the many different dining facilities. This was an all-you-can-eat vacation with lots of on-board activities, so Willow planned to take advantage of all the free stuff she could.

After all, she’d paid enough for the cruise itself.

A monotone voice came over the speaker announcing that the ship would be leaving Mars in the next five minutes. Anyone who wanted to watch the ship take off should proceed to the top level.

Willow didn’t really care about saying goodbye to Mars. Colony 12 would be just fine without her. As a human child, her family had left before Earth died, before it was completely obliterated. She could barely remember the planet at all. Mars was her home now.

Oh, she’d have to come back home in a month, of course, but there was nothing for her there now. There was nothing and no one waiting for her, not since she’d turned down her mother’s “suggestion” that she marry Anthony Weathermore.

It hadn’t really been a suggestion, Willow knew. It had been an ultimatum: one Willow didn’t appreciate. She could marry Anthony Weathermore and secure her family’s position in Colony 12, or she could fuck off.

She had taken the second option.

She didn’t want to think about it, though. This month was about having fun, about finding herself.
