Miriam met Richard at the door to the suite she’d rented. His broad smile and warm hug were so welcome. She’d missed him.

He drew back but kept his hands on her shoulders. “It is beyond good to see you.”

“You’ve no idea. How are you?”

“I’m…things are a mess again, you know.”

She scrutinized him more closely. She thought he’d settled into his new job, relatively speaking, but now dark circles and deep lines around his eyes weighed down his features. He appeared more troubled than the last time she’d seen him.

“I do. But you’re okay?”

“I am. Most of the time.”

“And Will?”

“Glad to have me with him, if currently somewhat angry at the rest of the galaxy. He’s fine.”

“I’ll accept the cryptic answers for now, but you are not off the hook. Thank you for coming here so we could meet in person. I’m afraid the things we need to discuss can’t be trusted to even an encrypted comm system.”

“No, they can’t.”

His voice had taken on a darker tenor; she gazed at him in increasing suspicion. She’d given him only the slightest indication of why she wanted to meet, but she had given him an indication. “What are you here to discuss?”

“Not what you expect. I realize you want to talk about Winslow, the new government, OTS and everything else happening at home, but first I need to tell you something. And you’re not going to like it.”

There was quite the deficit in good news these days, it seemed. “Then let’s get drinks and sit.”

“Excellent idea.”

When they’d moved to the chairs, a small table separating them, he took a long sip of his drink—she hadn’t overlooked the fact he’d mixed it strong—and stared into the glass.

“Richard, we’ve known each other for forty-four years. Whatever it is, just say it.”

He exhaled slowly and set the drink down. “It’s regarding the First Crux War—more specifically, the day it began and how it did so.”
