His mood went from pleased to mildly irritated rather quickly.

Nearly getting run over by Dr Ralis’ daughter would do that to you.

He watched the flash of blue that was her dress and the smoke that poured from the vehicle disappear down the hill. The spluttering noises died down as it drove further away. Once a week that girl went driving around Coastside in her smoke spewing machine, wreaking havoc wherever she went.

He turned away from it and his mood plummeted even further.

He stared in shock at her.

‘Vann.’ Azra greeted him, her perfectly shaped brows lowered in a perpetual glare. ‘Visiting Lillia?’

‘What are you doing here?’ he demanded, recovering some of his composure.

‘I thought you might be here.’

‘You followed me.’ he stated incredulously.

She gazed at him with those astonishingly blue eyes of hers. Then after a laden pause she said, ‘you keep avoiding me.’ The way she said it Vann expected her to assign him uniform duty for a month for it.

He crossed his arms and glared right back at her. ’You have trouble understanding the word ‘no’.’

‘Laztar and Leili got married. Being a submariner should hardly matter.’

‘I’m not Laztar. And I’m afraid it does. I don’t go out with submariners. No exceptions.’ He crossed his arms over his chest. He was very close to getting sick of this.

‘And if I transferred to Astar?’

Vann hardly considered what it meant that she’d suggest that. He was angry. And he didn’t consider for a moment she’d actually do it. ‘I don’t care if you join the air force, the answer is no. No, Azra, no.’

‘So no military girls, then.’ she said it as if she was collecting data, not as if it was of interest to her. Not as if it affected her at all.

‘No military girls.’ he agreed. ‘Excuse me.’ he said roughly as he strode past her. She hadn’t been injured in the Molk attack, and would be leaving tomorrow for sub duty.

That was a month free of her.

He didn’t look back once.
