Addie paced outside Garrett’s quarters chewing her fingernail. Anyone walking by would take the gesture as an officer delaying bad news to a more senior officer. The truth was far from that. All Addie had was good news from her perspective. She just had to convince Garrett it was good news. At times he did not see things exactly the way she did. It was not bad. It was just he was from Mars and she Venus. This meant she had to make him uproot his sweet Martian bachelor pad and permanently reside on Venus. The analogy was as old as sex and rock and roll. Men always did things for the women they were interested in. Men were actually simple. They liked a quiet life, dinner, and some personal nightly attention. Woman, however, had the honey-do list which if number one through three did not include quiet, food, and attention in the top spots they sorta zoned out.
Addie was certainly going to fulfill one through three it was number four she really needed and had to accomplish. Letting out a deep breath, she palmed the door console and walked in. It was now never.
