She picked up a samosa and held the triangular pastry in her fingertips as she leaned back. Taking a bite, Ghubari felt instantly transported to the restaurant of her mother’s friend. The soft potatoes and peas, the heady spices and mouth tingling heat- all seemed to calm her. It was funny to her that the spicier the food, the more relaxing she found eating it, but she guessed this had to do with the echo of how her life seemed to flow. “Do you think it’ll last?” she asked, looking over at him. “My parents, I mean.

Her being on Earth, and my being out here was always hard, but until she showed up here on the Athena, I never realized just how much better our relationship could be.”
“What about you? What’s new with that family of yours? Do I get to see any my sisters-in-law anytime soon?” It wasn’t like any of his family had been at their wedding, and while she hadn’t asked, she did wonder if there wasn’t any resentment about that from them.
