try and work myself forward, to be the best me I can be.”
Dev laughed. “That is all we can do. Just know who you are and be that to the best of your ability.”
Leo wiped at the tears streaking down her cheeks but she smiled.
The high prefect shook her hand. “You have an amazing career in crisis management ahead of you. I have rarely run into someone who not only followed their instincts but did it sensibly with attention to legalities. It is a rare combination, brains and sense.”
She laughed and he kissed the back of her hand.
He straightened and released her hand. “Thank you for coming.”
Dismissed, Dev walked upstairs and retrieved her data pad. She tucked it under her arm and resumed her normal gold and red uniform as she descended the stairs. Stellar Storm and Helsin smiled in approval while Yalio looked shocked.
She took Helsin’s arm and walked out the door with him. “It isn’t the bodysuit, it is seeing the juncture of the thighs that is the problem here. They obsessively cover the hips. As I am no longer in their employ, I choose to resume my daily uniform.”
“I don’t care as long as you are coming home with me.”
“Ah, Helsin. It may just be the danger talking, but my home is with you. Where you are posted is where I will gravitate. I had a while to think while I was stuck on my side, and I would like you to be my boyfriend if you have no objections.”
They were outside and approaching the bulk of a shuttle nestled in the grass.
Helsin stopped in place, turned her to face him and kissed her with enough force to bend her back.
She returned his kiss until she heard a voice in the distance.
“Ha! Dev’s got a boyfriend!”
Helsin broke the kiss and glared at the speaker. “Shut up, Stellar, and get in the shuttle.”
Dev giggled and resumed her slow and even pace into the shuttle with Helsin at her side. Life on Udell would take on a new thrill, but as long as she had her doctor beside her, she could deal with it, after all, she had a career ahead of her in crisis management. Her love life would just be learning a new job skill.
Dev wondered if Helsin wanted to go fast or slow, if Stellar wasn’t sharing the shuttle with them, she would have been tempted to find out. Ah well, some things would wait for Udell, and others would wait for privacy. She would tackle it one day at a time with anticipation starting every new dawn.
A new life, a new world, a new career and a chance at love. What more could a woman ask for?
Author’s Note
Well, they didn’t knock boots in this one, but you just know that she jumped him the moment he was vulnerable. Lowel Citadel is going to need a few more candidates before it earns its funding, so I wonder who is going to be next…oh wait.
In The Duty of Pain, we meet a pain taker who has been raised to remove the aches and pains of the nobility. She wants freedom, wants a life outside the chains and screams, but there is no way out unless the Citadel will take her on.
She was born to be a contact healer, but her training went horribly wrong, can Citadel training set her right?
