Mei-Li sighed as she wandered around the empty domicile. Six had been called by his boss, One, who apparently was working on some top secret project and needed his help. Six had apologized for leaving her alone and had given her several options for entertainment before he left but she still felt lonely and a little blue without the big Kindred.

Don’t be silly, she scolded herself. It’s ridiculous to be missing him like this when he’s only going to be gone a few hours. It’s not like you really care about him or have any feelings for him—hit it and quit it, remember?

But she couldn’t help the way she felt—she did miss Six. They’d had such a good day together. He had shown her around the city and taken her to the weird museum which gave the history of how the Collective—the bank of thinking machines that ran the planet—had risen to power. There was also an exhibit showing how a fully grown “organic” as they called the human-type people who lived on Z4, was raised in a huge tube until he (it was always a he) was ready to come out and join society as a fully grown warrior.

Six had taken her to lunch too—a little side street vendor which served garn that actually had flavor. It had tasted to Mei-Li like chili-cherry-mango flavored polenta—not something she would have sought out on Earth but it was so much better than the bland paper-paste taste of regular garn she had eaten every bite. Six had even given her his credit card—or cred-chip as he called it—and told her to get anything she wanted. Z4 wasn’t much of a tourist trap but she had found a few little trinkets to give to Claudia and her father (who she hoped wasn’t worried sick about her) once she got home.

The sights of the city were further enhanced when she used her new lenses. At first Mei-Li had had to concentrate to get them to work but more and more she found she was using them automatically. When she wanted to see fine details of the intricate carvings of the ancient Zeagans at the museum, she simply looked closer and the tiny details came into view at once. And when Six was pointing out some distant landmark or building in the city, all she had to do was stare at it to "zoom in" on it and see it as clearly as if it was standing next to her. After years of having terrible vision and being limited by her glasses, Mei-Li found the new experience exhilarating.

But it wasn't just her new vision she was enjoying. Though she never would have believed it would be possible due to his taciturn manners and forbidding outer appearance, she found everything about being with Six was fun and exciting.

Walking down a deserted side street after visiting the spice market, she had taken his hand without even thinking about it. Then she realized what she was doing and started to pull away.
