The Flyght Series

The door to my room opens, and Ken enters carrying two glasses of water. He takes one look at me folding my clothes and frowns.

“Your new man is quite the catch.” Skylar tosses a smile at me over her shoulder as I join her on the bridge.

I lock the door to my room, and I don’t come out. I don’t come out for breakfast or lunch.

“I told Mat you couldn’t be trusted, but he didn’t listen to me. But then again, he’s never really known what’s at stake here.” Peter edges into the room, closing the door behind him.

Mat’s chest rises and falls in a slow, steady rhythm. I lie on my side and watch him, replaying our evening of sex together.

“So, the news about Peter isn’t good,” Marcelo says, pulling my attention away from the autocab’s window. He glances across the car at Jinzo, and the two share a knowing look.

“What?” Ken and Jinzo ask. “Dad?” I raise my voice. “Dad’s here?”

Back on the Amagi, I avoid all the public areas and head straight to my room. Fuck Almas.
