Chapter 7

Lacy woke up the next morning, with a smile on her face. Last night she and Bojan had both quickly excused themselves, knowing that the group needed to discuss the bomb that they had just dropped on them. For most people, to even know such a thing was possible was just horrifying. These people were all in very strong and intensely committed relationships, so to think of that being ripped apart would cause many of them to stop in their tracks.

She had left Bojan at her bedroom door last night, firmly closing it in his face. Then she went and had a shower, standing there and crying for what seemed like hours. For the loss of his fiancée and child, for the loss of his future, for the years that Lacy and Bojan had been apart, and for all the hours, days, weeks, and months that she had been tormented, knowing that, for her, there could never be anyone else. Seeing what happened to Bojan and Michelle and their child was wrong and had been too much to handle. Lacy’s years of anguish, so hard and at the front of her mind, were like a needle in her side, and now that the dam had broken, she felt beyond exhausted. Still not knowing what her new world even looked like, she crashed into bed. … With her hair damp and her body barely dried off, she crawled under the single sheet and collapsed into an endless night.

But now it was morning, and she didn’t have a specific psychic feeling as to how anything might be. She slowly sat up and walked to the bathroom, and things seemed lighter, easier somehow. She moved with more fluidity, as if everything that had pulled her down, everything that had been a weight on her joints, on her shoulders, was gone.

When she finished with her morning rituals, she looked at the relatively small selection of clothes she’d brought with her and put on another sundress, then slipped into her sandals and walked slowly downstairs, hesitant as to what kind of reception she would get.

As she walked into the kitchen, the kitchen itself was empty and so was the adjoining dining room. She stared at the pool and wondered if she should have gone for a swim first. Though it would have been against medical advice, she was certain it would have made her feel a lot better. Yet she didn’t feel bad, just a bit numb somehow, and, painwise, that was fine by her.

She poured herself a cup of coffee just as Pia walked in. When he stopped and stared at her, she gave him a tentative smile, lifted her cup, and said, “Hope you don’t mind?”

He shook his head, his face softening. “Of course not. I thought you would be in the pool. And, so you know, Bullard has the place on lockdown, extra guards on the perimeter, while we work on enhancing the technological aspects of our system.” He sighed. “You are safe by the pool again.
