Three weeks had passed since we first slept together. I couldn’t stop thinking about the night before—or this morning in the shower. Since college, I had been with a few men, but nothing compared to last night. My lips still tingled from the kiss he’d given me before leaving for work.

He didn’t care my chest was on the small side. The man spent hours worshiping my body.

The Black brothers still hadn’t filled the vacancy from my boss’s death. Brandon told me the night before that they were close to making an arrest, but he couldn’t tell me who it was. Sometimes it was frustrating that he had to keep things from me. In the end, I understood that I might accidentally say something. If I didn’t know, I couldn’t let it slip.

Mike, the intern, had been fired a few days after Mr. Walker's death. I still wasn’t sure how the guy had passed the test that NSS gave to new hires. I remember he had all the right answers in the interview. Before being hired, they had to complete a test, and Mike had passed with almost a perfect score. Jared would never consider hiring someone without advanced knowledge.

I sat down with him a few days after he’d tried to say I killed my boss, but his knowledge was so lacking, I found myself frustrated and sent Jared an email telling him to take care of it. They had taken a lot of his privileges away after he deleted the code, but I didn’t want to chance him doing something else wrong. Jared was also going to look into seeing if somehow he cheated on the test

My phone lit up with a text. How is work? My face lit up when I saw it was from Brandon.

I quickly replied. It’s going good. Placing the phone back next to me I went back to looking at code.

The launch had gone smoothly a couple weeks ago. I’d snagged seats for Brandon in the executive viewer lounge. It was attached to the control station. Lily, Tommy, and Kaylene were also in the viewer lounge.

Jared and I were always in the control station for each launch to make sure nothing went wrong. We weren’t the only ones. The room was filled with aerospace engineers and mechanical engineers. Even Jacob and Jax stood in the room, watching. The only person speaking during the launch was the person reporting on the rocket. Each person was looking for anything out of the norm, but it worked.

They tested the first launch in the new rocket built for tourist travel. I still didn’t understand why people were going to pay millions of dollars to go to space for a few minutes. The simulation in the tourist shop at NSS felt just like being in space. It only cost ten dollars and lasted for thirty minutes.

The first time I tried out the simulation I was light-headed for the rest of the day, and at that moment, I knew I would only assist in building the rockets and never want to go to space.
