Ana clutched the note to her chest and smiled. She was hopeless. Today would be a good day to bury herself in the lab at Singer, the ultimate distraction of pipettes and microscopes. She got up and ate breakfast, and was about to walk out the door when Martine called.

“Ana. How’s everything going with Jolie? You seemed far away last night.”

Ana sighed and spoke to Martine’s projected image. “Can you blame me? It was the middle of the night.”

“You’re usually sharper, even in the middle of the night.” Martine raised an eyebrow. Ana could tell she wasn’t really upset, just making sure Ana stayed on track.

“To tell you the truth, things are going really well. I haven’t exactly been getting a lot of sleep.” Ana felt her cheeks redden.

“Okay, that’s good to hear. Just make sure you can leave it behind when we go to training.” She heard something behind those words. Martine knew how far in she was. She had to. They’d known each other for years. Ana wanted this conversation to be over as soon as possible.

“Not a problem, Captain.”

“Call me if you need any advice, okay? I just want what’s best for all of us.”

Ana nodded, praying it would be easy to untangle intentions and consequences when the time came. “I’ve got to run over to the University. I’ll talk to you later, okay?”

“Bye.”

Ana threw her head back against the door frame. “Fuck.”
