Tec returned Jerusha's kiss and then pried her away from him enough that he could set the coordinates for the hangar on Dellat and reply to Rusty with curt words of the fact that they were headed that way. Then he looked Jerusha straight in the eyes and said, "I'm glad you say yes, because if you had said no, my heat would be broken! I love you more than words can express." He felt a small chain against his neck, a fine thin chain with his mother's engagement ring, a ring he had found in her small amount of possessions, that he had forgotten he wore. Pulling it off, he grinned at Jerusha and handed it to her, chain and all. "There's the ring, sorry it was late in getting to you."
Live Fast, Love Hard, Stand Strong.
"May the winds of battle speed my body and heart, guide my mind and senses, and the fires of life replenish me."-- Tec's battle prayer.
Life without love is pointless, but with it, it's a cross between heaven and hell.
