“Great!” Alara said, dropping into the copilot’s chair. “Where are we going?”
“That depends. You hungry?” he asked, turning to her with eyebrows raised.
“Starving.”
“I know a place. Not fancy or anything, but they serve the best Curian sandwiches this side of Dark Space. You ever tried Curian food?”
“Never, but I like to experiment,” Alara said, winking at him.
Ethan frowned and opened his mouth to object, but Alara held up a hand before he could.
“You need to get your mind out of the gutter old man. I was talking about food.”
Ethan snorted and shook his head. It was going to be a long week.
The wormhole kissed the bow of their ship with a blinding flash of light and then swallowed them whole.
