“Do you want that fixed?”
“Yes.Do you know how?”
She paused at her door.“Get Zera to call Caska.Tell her that Alody is back in town and will vouch for you.She will make the paperwork happen.She can make you an Aksallan citizen in a few weeks.”
“Great.Nelith is my kids’ other grandma, so all we are missing is the wedding.Salat tries to make up for it in very creative ways, but I would rather be a whole legal person, you know?”She smiled and frowned.“Wait, how did you know?”
“Oh, I have ancient ways.”Alody opened her door.“You are very much in love with a lot of kids and no wedding rings.I did the math and know how strict Aksalla is.Okay, I will talk to you later.”
Khytten smiled softly.“Good night, Alody.”
“Good night, Khytten.Thanks for the ride.”
“Not the first time I have heard that today.”Khytten touched Alody’s shoulder and walked down the sidewalk toward Salat and the heavy vehicle.
Alody closed the door and activated the security system.
Time to get her little man into his jammies.
Chapter Three
Zera’s com was goingcrazy.She sat up and put the feed on her monitor.Messages were coming in from a number of male actives who wanted to know if the woman from the bus was one of the available escorts.
Zera rubbed her eyes and brought up information on a bus.“Whoa.”
The woman looked remarkably normal, but she had gone from breaking the sound barrier to lifting a bus as casually as if she were moving grocery bags.Her body was lithe and fit, and she didn’t have the tense form of a standard active.
She looked at the image, tightened in on her features, and ran a facial recognition program.The answer popped up right away, along with several other images of her taken from that evening.Her holding a boy at the hospital.Walking off with Salat and Khytten, and leaving the centre with Salmet, Vikor, Salat, and Khytten.
“So, we have mutual acquaintances, Alody.”
The image of her leaving Klauz’s with a child in her arms made Zera double-check her social status.
She was single but had a son.Offering her a position as an escort wouldn’t be appropriate.Zera smiled.It looked like she had another candidate for matchmaking if Alody was interested.
