Short Story

“You’re reacting to the symptom,” Elara said.
The feeling is fond, not restless. Like remembering a place without packing a bag.
Opposite side of the planet. Night there.
For twenty years, that was how she had said “I care about you”—by fixing things
She wasn’t saving the station today. She was just washing her hands
Sometimes it was gratitude taking a longer form.
This was where I would manufacture a reason to stay aboard
“Atmospheric drag,” Elara muttered
Vanguard was forced to do something novel: wait
Lieutenant, I really think you’re overreacting
The entity known as Elara
And if you’re wrong?
