He put on his clothes but told me he wanted to shower in his room and change, and then he’d meet me down in the restaurant.

I showered too, put on a sweatsuit. I looked at myself in the wall mirror opposite the bed’s end. I saw the messy bed behind me, I saw my flushed face. I grinned.

Then I went in search of Tan.

We spent the rest of the night together, mostly in bed. I was exhausted, he exhausted me, and I seemed to have exhausted him because we finally fell asleep pretty fast—or at least the next morning I barely remembered having fallen asleep. I woke up lying on my side and saw a naked Tan standing by the big window opposite.

The sunlight streamed in around him, and he stood with his left profile to me, staring out into the light. His mind didn’t seem to be in the room; I moved on the bed, sat up a bit, but he didn’t seem to notice. He turned toward the window more, and I wondered if anyone outside below could see his nudity.

My eyes caressed the strange triangle of black hair at the base of his back above his ass cheeks; last night I’d caressed that beautiful hair with my fingers. Sometimes I thought everything about Tan seemed so different; this was one of those times.

“Good morning,” I said to him, smiling as I remembered holding him while he was moving inside me, remembered the feel of the taut muscles across his slim back.

At the sound of my voice, his head tilted my way a bit, but then he went back to looking out the window. My smile faded: something wasn’t right.

“What is it?” I asked.

“A new day,” he replied. And I wondered what he meant.

Then he continued, “I once questioned why you do what you do. I want that too—order and peace. I’ve lived on Diamond all my life; I couldn’t live anywhere else permanently. I don’t like what goes on here. Arlene hasn’t made the best choices. She shouldn’t have resigned The Council. She should have stayed and kept them honest. There are jerks on all sides. Sabotaging is destroying the resources we have here. They’re special, they don’t exist anywhere else.

“I met her when I was in The Academy. She made me feel important because she was important. I thought that was the closest I’d ever get to being important: fucking someone important. I was a dumb virgin.

“It went on for almost a year. I don’t think she ever told anyone about us, neither did I. But I really cared about her. That’s the way it goes when it’s the first time, I guess.

“I remember feeling disgust when I first heard she was connected with the sabotage, disgust at her and myself.”

“But what she does has nothing to do with you, Tan. You yourself said she has to answer for what she’s done.”

His head tilted back toward me again. “Pia,” he said in a dull voice, “don’t think you can use me in the sack and then get information from me.
