Turk had no warning of the attack. He’d spent hours working with Paige and Orin learning carpentry as they rebuilt the ruined crew quarters. He was tired, thirsty, sore, and looking forward to what the Rosetta’s crew called a shower.

Turk wasn’t expecting the ambush at all. One minute he was alone on the top deck, tasting his first attempt at lemonade, and the next he was looking at Hillary wearing a skin-tight yellow dress that covered far too little. She spun in a circle in front of him, ending with her back to him, showing off the fact that the hem of the dress barely covered her panties. “Well?” She looked over her shoulder at him. “I have to go buy supplies. What do you think? Is this good?”

“No!” He snapped once he got done choking on his lemonade.

“What’s wrong with it?” She turned around to face him. “Is the color wrong for me?”

It was a perfect color for her. It was young and flirty and far too little of it. True the women on Paradise wore much less, but they were in private enclaves with high security to protect them from the dregs of society. Here at Ya-ya, they were shoulder to shoulder with the seedier crowd. Paige had moved the Rosetta to a cheaper berth, and their neighbors showed it.

“Go change,” he growled at the teenager.

“Why?”

“Because it gives men the wrong idea.”

“No, I think that’s exactly the idea I want them to get.”

“This is not the place for something like that. Go change.”

She shook a finger at him. “You are not the boss of me.”

Luckily Paige was Hillary’s boss, and appeared behind Hillary.

“Look at what Hillary’s wearing.” Turk wished he didn’t sound like a five-year old.

“I know.” Paige held out a hand, forestalling him from saying more. “I know. I know.”

“You’re going let her leave like that?” he asked.

“I can take care of myself,” Hillary said as Paige said, “She can take care of herself.”

Obviously they were both naïve and delusional. He had no choice; it was clear what he had to do. “I’m going with her.”

Paige laughed and kissed him. For a moment, with her soft and warm in his arms, he almost changed his mind. With the Baileys, though, there always seemed an unspoken element to any interaction; he was just starting to perceive it. Paige hadn’t told him not to go; the kiss may have even been a reward for declaring would go.
