“I’ll bring you a souvenir,” Lyn said impulsively. Did she really intend to take her up on the offer? Why not? Ani was quiet beside her, watching. Was that a bemused grin? Ghez, ever the professional, pretended to ignore them and inset a view of the Aphrodite moving back to its own orbit.
“Please give my regards to Omara when you see her next,” Celeste said.

“Enjoy,” Lyn said, her mouth suddenly dry. “It was nice meeting you.”
“Likewise.”

“That was interesting,” Ani said.
“I’ll say.”
“I think she was flirting with you.”
