I went back to bed feeling like a spoiled child.

That was how I’d acted. Like a kid who’d never been told no before. Run away with me, Coplan! We can be together, and never mind that we’ve only known each other for a few weeks— ridiculous. It wasn’t just silly, it was embarrassing.

Coplan was right on one count: I had made a fool out of myself. Just not in the way he was claiming. My problem wasn’t that I’d trusted him. He’d proved over and over again that I could do that. My problem was that I kept throwing myself at him without even thinking about what it meant.

Coplan had responsibilities to the people here on the ship and even more responsibilities waiting for him back on Lunaria. If the political situation there was really so difficult that even entertaining whatever we were feeling for each other was dangerous, I couldn’t believe how naive I’d been. I’d essentially just asked him to abandon everything he’d built for himself and everything he was over, what—a kiss?

It was mortifying, and even worse, I knew exactly why I’d done it, too. As much as I wanted to pretend that what had happened to me on the Rutharian base wasn’t affecting my judgment…obviously, it was.

I’d thrown myself—twice—at the first man who’d been kind to me since my rescue. I hadn’t just kissed him. I’d begged him to start a life with me, someone he barely knew. I’d been out of line and entirely out of control, and I had no one to blame for that but myself.

I needed to get a grip on this—and fast.

I guessed Coplan had the same idea. The next morning, he wasn’t the one who came to check on me. Instead, an older Lunarian who introduced himself as Healer Adskow came to see how I was doing instead.

“Is Coplan okay?” I asked tentatively after Adskow had checked my reflexes and taken my weight.

“Healer Majari? Of course. Mind you, I cannot be certain why he was so keen on cleaning bedpans instead of performing your exam this morning, but…” Adskow shrugged. “I was not going to argue. On the bright side, you seem to be at a healthier weight for your build now. Look how your womanly curves are returning. It is quite pleasing.” Adskow cleared his throat and blushed as he caught himself staring at my hips. “Er. In a medical sense, I mean. And you are regaining your strength quickly, too! I think, if you are willing to continue eating and caring for yourself, I can confidently discharge you. Are you comfortable with that?”

“Yeah,” I said quietly, even though I was more uncomfortable than ever on the inside. Coplan had literally chosen to clean bedpans instead of seeing me again. I understood his reasoning behind it, but still. It was a special kind of hurt. “Sure. Whatever you say.”

“Excellent. I will have Leonix organize a new room for you outside of the medical bay. That will be nice for you.
