Thule started to protest, but Jo effectively shut him up by putting her arm around his shoulders and holding him while he pretended not to fight his claustrophobia for her benefit.

She decided that the best course of action was to keep him diverted. That way he wouldn’t think about where he was. As far as she knew, that might well be complete bunk, but it was the only thing she could think of. She’d be adding a few courses in basic psychology to her résumé after this was all over.

Not that she minded sitting in the dark next to a handsome man who had just swooned into her arms. But she’d keep those thoughts to herself. No use encouraging the guy.

She tried to think of something heartening to say.

“Don’t worry, Ensign. Someone will find us soon. My duty shift begins in about twenty minutes, and when I don’t show up they’ll come looking.”

At her side, Thule twitched a fitful nod and pulled his knees tighter into their fetal position.

“Thanks, Lieutenant. And about that other stuff I said…”

Jo smiled in the dark. “We’ll just let that be our little secret,” she said.

Thule silently contemplated his situation. He was in a dark room, alone with the girl of his dreams who was sitting next to him with her arm around him. He was glad the Lieutenant wasn’t a telepath.

Otherwise she’d know he was faking.
