Chapter 10

April slept in the next morning. It was past 1000 by the time she got up and had a bite to eat at home, Gunny and Jeff were both gone and she had the place to herself. The com lit up with an incoming call. It was a yellow flash so it was somebody she knew but not urgent.

"Miss Lewis, I have a couple sketches when you have time to look at them," Lindsey Paddington offered. Her head was so full of the rush of events the last couple days she had to switch gears. President Wiggen... OK, she'd told Lindsey she wanted a gift for their marriage.

"Are you at Cindy and Frank's tailor shop today?" April asked Lindsey.

"No, this is an off day and I don't have school either."

"Why don't you come by my apartment?" April asked. "I'm working on com but I'll break and look at whatever you have prepared for me."

"That isn't any imposition?" Her voice said she really was uncertain. Another time it might have just irritated April, but she really did like Lindsey and wanted to help her out of her shell.

And yet how could she object at all if the girl just liked her? Why did it make her uncomfortable instead of just accepting it?

So she got two each of six kinds of cold sandwiches. She had some crudités, pickles and potato salad already.

Lindsey didn't have a subtle bone in her body. When April opened the door for her she took two steps inside and froze, her mouth falling open. "This is like an Earth apartment!" she said, amazed.

"Perhaps a little more efficient," April insisted. "But I realize it's bigger than... usual, and I'm very fortunate to have it. My body guard Gunny lives on site too." April was self conscious about her cubic and usually managed to avoid any discussion of it, but there was no avoiding it with Lindsey.
