Later that night, I got a chance to put Octaviaâs theory to the test when I was summoned to Tammyâs private quarters.
I found the spiritual leader of the coalition sitting at her dresser. She was brushing her long, dark hair, paying careful attention to each strand in the process. Her eyes didnât look as dark as they had earlier. I suspected sheâd finally gotten some sleep now that she was safe with my fleet.
âGood evening, Gee,â she said, glancing at me through the mirror.
I kept at attention for the sake of propriety until Tammy gestured for me to sit down on the edge of her bed. For any other Eden, just being here would be considered a terrible sacrilege, but Tammyâs presence was oddly comforting.
âThank you for coming so quickly,â she said as she turned to face me. âI hope you donât mind the fact that I summoned you so late at night.â
âI live only to serve,â I replied.
âYou donât have to keep up the Eden act here in private,â said Tammy. âIâm not Eden anymore.â
âIâll be tending to that matter shortly,â I said, which seemed to make her unhappy for a brief moment, until I used her real name.
âI wish I had your confidence, Gee. I know that you have so many centuries of experience. All those fights have hardened you into the All-Motherâs deadliest weapon. But I find myself doubting our chances. We canât take on the entire galaxy at once and still win.â
âMaybe not,â I replied. âBut weâve had worse odds before. The vula wars tested Edenâs mettle for several generations before we finally won. Things looked just as bleak back then.â
Tammy grinned. âThat was ten thousand years ago. And you still remember it?â
âOnly what I had written down,â I said. âI donât keep memories every time I reset. Thatâs where written information comes in handy. All I know is that from what I wrote, our chances seemed just as bleak.â
âWere you a Son of Eden back then too?â
âIn a few of those cycles. In others, I had different roles. In every cycle, I had a purpose though. I was whatever Eden needed me to be, just like now.â
Tammy nodded and stood up from her table. She approached the bed and sat down beside me. I didnât expect what she did next.
Before I could react, she pressed her lips against mine. Iâd often dreamed about the glory of Edenâs embrace before, but never like this. Tammyâs lips danced across mine. It was a chaste kiss but it was also one that held a lot of promise.
When she looked away, her eyes had a dreamy quality to them.
âJust like I expected,â she whispered.
âI guess I donât need to ask if it was good for you,â I said, which made her laugh.
âHave you always been this confident?â
âItâs hard not to be when youâre me.â
âNo, I can see why,â said Tammy. âI canât tell you how incredibly attracted I am to you. And itâs hard for me to explain why.
