*.*.*

The warehouse turned out to be a cavernous space, divided up into many rooms. Just inside the main entrance, the Faculty milled around. Several of them had coffee cups, though a couple still had their wine glasses.

Lucy and I had just entered when Kristen Blalock rushed over to greet us. She was one of the few women with only one last name; she'd told me yesterday she'd never been married. "Never saw the need," she'd said. Like all the others, she was a PhD, though she'd asked me to just call her Kris.

She was one of the youngest humans in the Faculty, though she had to be forty or more. She was slim and a blonde and I thought she was wearing makeup. I'd never had an eye for guessing ages, but I made a note to ask Lucy about her later.

Her greeting caused all other conversations to cease. "Ah, our happy couple. Welcome! Did you sleep well?"

Her noises, combined with all the others, were like a wall of sound that I was struggling to deal with. I knew I'd be able to function, that I could adjust, but it had been a long time since I'd had to.

Without waiting for an answer, Kris moved between Lucy and I, took our arms, and guided us to the group. She had her hand on my bicep. It occurred to me that, other than my mother and Lucy, I could not remember any other woman touching me there.

Lucy answered for both of us, "Yes, quite well, thank you. Our bed was very comfortable." There was something in Lucy's voice, some tone.

We joined the group as Dr. Peter Readner asked, "Coffee, Mr. and Mrs. Smith?" He grinned while he said it.

I hadn't had coffee in a long time. "Sure, I'd like some," I said. I glanced at Lucy to see if I could get her a cup and found her already staring at me. Something deep inside, some alarm, sounded. I tried to separate her noises from the others, but I couldn't do it yet. I needed more practice.

She smile at me sweetly, "None for me, Leonard."

Kris Blalock pulled at my arm. "Let me show you to our little kitchen. The coffee is in there." She started walking away, still holding onto my arm. I followed her lead.
