As the party broke up, Benjy walked Sass back to her cabin. “Captain?”

“Yes, Benjy?”

“Do you…want company?” He pointed bashfully at the bridge door, not far beyond Sass’s own cabin, then scratched his nose. “I have a little while yet before I’m on duty.”

Sass leaned on the bulkhead and beamed at him. “What a flattering offer! But no. As your captain, I’m not free to take you up on it.”

“But that’s not why?” Benjy fished.

Sass’s smile broadened to a grin. “You’re a bit young for me. Truly, Benjy, I just don’t feel that way about you. But thank you.”

“Ben,” he insisted, out of the blue. “Benjy is a kid’s name. My dad called me Benjy. In school, they call me Benjamin. I choose Ben.”

“Good choice, Ben,” she murmured. Funny how she felt proud to see him grow up, yet mourned the rambunctious kid she met such a short time ago. This trip stole his innocence. She squeezed his shoulder in encouragement.

“Good night, captain. Happy hundredth birthday.”

As he left her, she saw Clay and Kassidy leaning on the catwalk railing. Flirting, by the looks of it.

None of my business, Sass told herself firmly. She retreated into her cabin, and called it a night. Her libidinous nanites rebelled at her lousy choices on how to celebrate a birthday. She firmly told them to take a hike. She decided who shared her bed.

Or not.

As for contemplating the panoramic sweep of her past century, she’d far rather distract herself with a good book and fall asleep.
