With four weeks left, Dr. Graymard called her into his office one morning. “So how are you getting along, Emi?” Her confidence wasn’t faked anymore. “I’m nervous, obviously, but the guys have been great. I know if I have any questions they’ll help me.”

“No second thoughts about backing out?”

“Not on your life.”

She sensed there was something else he wanted to discuss. “Are you aware of the term bonded crew?”

She stiffened. She didn’t want to hear the story from him, not really. She wanted her boys to tell her, even though she was desperate to know. “I ran across it.”

He nodded, eyeing her. “The men of the Tamora Bight are bonded crew. It’s a very specific designation, meaning they cannot be separated unless they desire it. Since they are bonded crew, they can add to their number if they wish. Now, I have not spoken to Aaron about this yet, because he is the one who has to make the request, speaking for his men. Should he make the request, however, I would prefer to know your answer in advance, if at all possible. I won’t tell him your answer because that’s between you and the men. But there are paperwork issues to take care of, and the more advanced knowledge I have, the easier it makes my job.” She nodded. “I’d like that.”

“It doesn’t make you married to them or anything. It means you cannot arbitrarily be transferred out of his command by outside officers unless you request a transfer.” He made a notation in his computer. “That’s all, Emi. I just needed to talk to you about that.” A few hours later, Graymard paged the ship and requested Aaron come to his office, alone. He didn’t seem nervous, but she was.

Would they be talking about her?

It was her night to cook. She was preparing dinner when the boys walked into the galley, smiling.

That had to be a good sign, right?

Aaron took her hands in his. “Em, we wanted to talk to you about something.”

She nodded, hopeful, expectant.

Aaron glanced at the twins, who were remarkably silent. They nodded their encouragement.

“We’ll be shipping out soon, and we’re going to have one last crew day together in the city, followed by dinner. Someplace nice where they don’t ask if you want fries with that. It’s our tradition. But we’d like to know if you’d start a new tradition with us.” Love At First Bight

“What?”

“We’d each like a day and night away from the ship with you, alone. We’ll be together for a long time, and we agree it’d be nice to get a chance to have you to ourselves.” Not exactly what she’d expected, but nearly as good. “I’d love that.”

They set the dates, and each man made his plans. Aaron decided Ford could have the first night, Caph the second, and he’d take the night before their crew day together.

“Where are we going?” she asked Ford the night before her day with him began.

He grinned. “Secret. Not telling.
