"The final chapter. What will happen to Quinn and Morgan?"
“I fucking hate bowling!” Lexi roared in frustration as she got her second gutterball in a row. “Why did we even come here?? This place sucks!!”Four or five people were staring at us by the time Lexi grumpily took her...
"The leadup to the finale."
There are things you know but just can’t explain. You just feel what’s right. Even if it’s not what you “should” do, you know you have to do it, and it was in that moment, probably right before she would...
"What lies ahead?"
When Y’Dryth’s gravity finally lets go of us entirely and we’re slingshotted back into empty space, the last of the shaking abates. Neither Bane nor Rune answers my questions about our attackers/pursuers – no surprise there – but from the...
"Decisions, decisions."
“You vowed you’d take Kay home,” I repeat Rune's words, confirming with Kay via a glance at her, hoping that she’d react if this turned out to be inaccurate somehow - all just one big, hilarious misunderstanding. But she just...
"Where is this crowded spaceship headed, anyway?"
When I was sixteen years old, I had a crush on a classmate of mine. His name was Jimmy White and he looked like Andrew Keegan’s even dreamier brother, intelligent glasses and all. I may or may not have picked...
"The new passenger puts Val, Bane and Rune to an acid test."
Deviously using food as a distraction for my boys – works every single time – I provide myself with some time and space for my visit to the storage room, aka the female’s lair. The estrogen hideout. The lady cave....
"Val, Bane and Rune have different ideas about how to deal with the stowaway..."
Shit oh shit oh shit oh shit oh I don’t know how much time has passed in which I barely dared to breathe. My mind is spinning in panic, like a top. A top on amphetamines. A haunted top on...
"Val, Bane and Rune get more than they asked for out of that Tulun D'tel shopping spree"
My brain takes exactly one second to go through all the idiotic scenarios – Bane, naked female, hanky-panky, caught in the act, tears, screeching, it’s not what it looks like, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance, let’s stay friends, blah, blah,...
"Even interstellar journeys can hit roadblocks, apparently."
“That’s a human.” I actually smush my fingertip against the screen where he had just been like I could pin him down. The static electricity of it tingles coldly against my skin and the picture warps slightly. “That was… a...
"Val, Bane and Rune's journey (finally!) continues! ...but it looks like it might be a rough ride..."
“God. Fucking. Dammit!” I screech. And then I cough because screeching requires a lot of breath, and breathing in a lot while your face is very close to the ground is not a terribly bright idea.You know how they say...
