Marlee is realising just how little she knows about Tyris, and his world.

They walked down a corridor and into an open room with comfortable looking upholstered seats around the edge. The woman looked around with a frown at the half a dozen people who were sitting there, commenting, “It looks like Tyris is still in his medical exam. Are you okay to wait here for him?”

Marlee was just looking uncertainly around the room, when an elegant looking woman who was sitting near the door stood up and said, “I couldn’t help but overhear what you were saying. Are you waiting for Tyris Bekkert?”

Marlee hadn’t, until that moment, considered the fact that the beautiful dress Jaimma had made her would be out of style with those around her.

They hadn’t counted on Tyris’s wife, Milandra, who is determined not to let her husband go now he’s famous. But Tyris and Marlee have one very good reason for keeping their relationship a secret, and for that, they need Milandra to believe her marriage isn’t on the rocks.

In the meantime, there are people who find the idea of a planet where having children is encouraged very interesting indeed. Especially since some of the contraceptive chips have been malfunctioning…
