  Though it’s kind of huge and my feet would get tired.”
    “There’s not enough time for that.”
    “What about dancing?   You have music, don’t you?”
    “That would be ludicrous.   Lord Elentinus is not some dancing fool.”
    I tried not to get frustrated.   “Do you have sports?   Like bowling?   Could we set something up?”
    Whore put his hand on his chin.   “There’s Ragmore.”   He fumed.   “No.   It would take far too long to teach you.”
    “What about…like, a board game?”
    “The only game worthy of Lord Elentinus is too complicated for you.   These are idiotic suggestions!”
    I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.   “I’m trying my best.   I don’t exactly know what’s available.”
    He stuck his nose in the air.   “There’s hardly anything available.   This isn’t a leisure craft.”
    “Well, in my time, if people didn’t have any money or there wasn’t anything to do we just stayed home.   Snuggle together on the couch.   Watch TV maybe.”
    Whore got an evil glint in his eyes.   “Yes.   You should snuggle together.   I’ll tell him it was your idea.”   He started to go.
    I popped up after him.   “Hey!   Snuggle doesn’t mean sex!”
    “Be silent.”   He left and closed the door.
    “Bleh!”   I collapsed back into my bed.
    I felt like Whore had set a trap for me.   I’d be springing it that evening—whenever Elentinus and I got together.   I fretted over it all day.   I didn’t even bother trying to learn more from the Domestics.   My mind felt too harried to focus.   I was glad when Whore finally came to get me for my date that evening.   I couldn’t stand the wait.
    “Why are you always in that side lounge downstairs?”
    “It’s comfortable.”
    “I never know where you’re going to be.   You should just stay in your room.”
    “I don’t want to stay cooped up in that cell all day.”
    Whore grumbled.
    We got into the elevator.  

“Hor-Denay—why are you such a miserable person?   I haven’t done anything to deserve the way you treat me.”
    He spoke without looking at me.   “You’re a nuisance that we didn’t need to deal with right now.”
    “That’s not my fault.”   I followed him out of the elevator.   “You kidnapped me, remember?”
    “I could treat you far worse.   You’ve no idea how good you have it.   You’re a typical spoiled Earth woman to complain about these choice circumstances.   You haven’t even tasted the sting of your collar.”
    “Because I don’t deserve it.   I’ve been a model prisoner.”
    Whore stopped in front of Elentinus’ door with me.   His eyes narrowed to slits.   “I told you what you have to do to be my friend.”
    “I’m holding you to that.”   I made my eyes just as stern as his.   “Because what you want is going to happen sooner or later.”
    Whore laughed.   It gave me a shudder.  
    “It’s happening tonight.”   He pressed the button beside the door.  
    I hugged myself.   I wanted to brush him off like before, but he sounded eerily sure of himself.  
    “Enter.”
    Whore let me go in alone.   I tried to shake off my cowering before I descended the steps.   Elentinus was standing next to the table the same as before.   I saw there were place settings for dinner again.   I walked up to my chair.
    “Oh, we’re having dinner again?”
    “I know you haven’t eaten, my dear.”
    I’d had no appetite all day because of Whore’s shenanigans.
    Elentinus pulled out my chair.   “Hor offered a suggestion for tonight, but I found it unacceptable.”
    I sat down and smiled with relief.   “Dinner will be just fine.   I like talking to you.”
    Elentinus squeezed my hand.   “I enjoy your company a great deal.”   He caressed the back of my hand with his index finger.   “I was looking forward to being with you.   In fact, you’re proving quite a distraction to my work.”
    I felt myself blush.   His voice was too soft and
