Twenty

To her extreme annoyance, Jonas’s mouth fell open and he stared past her as she bitched about the URV, Thomas, Tennian, the Pelagic, her mom, and her period, which was due within the week.

“Oh my God, help me remember my hot girlfriend,” her friend murmured, and Fred knew without turning around that it was—

“Good evening, Fredrika. Sir. I thought I might—if you did not mind, I thought I might…dine…with you?”

“Tennian, Jonas. Jonas, you remember Tennian.” Tennian the hottie, who has apparently started following me around. “Sure. We’d love it if you had supper with us.”

Jonas had bounded to his feet and was shaking hands with the nudely gleaming Tennian. “Hi there! Niceta see you again! Chilly this time of night, eh?”

“It is good to see you, sir. I have heard many nice things about you.”

“You have?” Jonas was frankly staring. “About me? Not from her, anyway.” Jerking a thumb in Fred’s direction.

“You’d better drop it while you can still count to five on that hand,” she muttered. Then, louder: “Nice to see you again.”

“Indeed!” Tennian glanced down at herself, then back up. “Fredrika, may I impose upon you? I require clothing.”

“Sure, sure, there’s plenty in my hut.”

“Nonsense!” boomed her friend (who, laughably, was thought to be gay by the casual bystander). “It’s a come-as-you-are dinner! No need for shorts. Or a shirt!”

Tennian smiled at him. “You are kind, but I will abide by your customs.”

“Nuts.”

Without another word, Fred led Tennian toward her hut.
