Hannah shrugged, it didn’t concern her much, but she knew Alexis would enjoy that piece of news. Then Hannah stopped looking hard at Alexis’ hand that she had just thrown the ball with. “Nugget? What is that? Oh My God! Alexis Claire Bonner, Is that an engagement ring?!”
Alexis looked at her hand and then nodded. “Honey, are…are you sure?” Hannah wasn’t sure if she should be over the moon or not. She had no idea it was that serious. “I am. Hannah I have to go. My shift is soon and I have to take Frigga home first.” Alexis paused, hesitated, “Hannah…I don’t know if I say it enough, but you’re my best friend and you’ve always done so much for me. I probably don’t thank you enough; you mean a lot to me, I hope you know that.”
Hannah looked perplexed and concerned. “Alexis? What…” but the screen had gone blank.

A few moments later, DaVinci walked into their quarters, a smile on his face. He walked over and gave Hannah a kiss on the cheek. “Hey sweet.”
The corner of Hannah’s mouth twitched in a smile, but she didn’t say anything she just signed, ‘Hi Daniel.’ And stared at the blank screen.
He looked at the blank screen and the concerned look on her face. “You okay? You look kind of perplexed about something. What’s going on?”

Hannah turned to look at him and then her hands began flying as she signed. Hannah was signing so fast it was uncertain if Daniel would catch it all or not. “Alexis, my room mate from Academy. She’s a child genius. Had her medical degree before she started Academy and graduated at 17. This insert really derogatory words here she dated years ago somehow ended up her boss. He’s scary and dangerous. And now she’s met someone else. Alexis’ brain doesn’t work on an emotional level, not at first. She just doesn’t think that way. So I’m really happy for her. Then after I asked her about the engagement ring she was wearing, she just told me bye. Not get off the com bye but…like she won’t talk to me for awhile. And she was crying!”

Daniel caught all of it the best he could and realized he had gotten the gist of Hannah’s explanation. “So, you’re thinking this engagement may not be all it’s cracked up to be?”
Hannah got up out of the chair and paced back and forth across the room, hands moving as she thought about it. She turned and looked at Daniel, hand dropping to her sides with a deep breath. “I don’t know. After what happened to her, Alexis has strictly avoided relationships, except for once or twice....okay so this guy, name of Soulis, she met him 3 years into her first tour. He was always asking Alexis to research and give him solutions to things that are just this side of legal. She always refused.” Hannah stopped the pacing to look at Daniel. What she was about to tell him was personal for him and could have gotten Alexis into a lot of trouble. “She finally stood her ground when he started pressing her about augments. I remember because she called me, really upset. From her point of view everything he’d asked her had always been ‘hypothetical’ and mental exercise. But he wanted her to actually give him hard data about it. She refused said it was illegal and he needed to stop. She called me again two days later, she’d found him in bed with another woman, he laughed at her and said he never intended to marry her.”
“Maybe she agreed to marry this new guy to keep her distance from this creeper boss she has. What do you know about her new fiancee? You ever meet him?”

Hannah shook her head, “I don’t think so. So a year ago Alexis was made the Assistant Chief Medical Officer of the Ogawa. She left suddenly to go work on a classified project having to do with memory formation. When I talked to her two weeks ago she said that Soulis was her boss while on that project, but that she was now back on Ogawa. I asked her if she was okay, if he was bothering her still, and that is when she told me about this new guy.” Hannah was worried. “I’ve never met him, never even heard of him until two weeks ago. She said he talks to her and understands when she talks. That he doesn’t get annoyed at her, and he makes her feels safe. He works in the R&D lab with her, has a talent for art, and is very good at cards and stacking the deck. I’m happy for her, really, I’m just worried. I don’t like that this guy is showing back up again.”
