Summary
She was human—one in twenty thousand across Andromeda—yet he found ways of making her feel like a queen in a hostile galaxy. The thought alone warmed Riti’s chest like pulses of electricity raced through it. Is that what Jaal meant by a heart singing?

Summary
Riti growled. She glanced at Kandros’ backside then stood and slipped an arm under her sister’s. “You’re killing me, man,” she said in an undertone.
“Huh?”
“This dance has been going on long enough.”
“Uh,” Mira tensed her arm, yet knew better than to pull away as the sisters neared the tram, “what dance?”
Riti side-glanced and Mira’s blue-green eyes narrowed.

> Not touching this one. [Liam]
>> Ever think we tease her because it makes her look cute? [Peebee]

Oh, God, did Riti’s face feel like it was on fire. But was that because she had been caught or because of her guilty, girly pleasure?

“Liam?”
“Uh, yeah?”
“I'll do it. I’ll marry you.”
For a moment, the man looked taken aback. But as soon as Rashmi smiled, he scooted closer to her along the cliffside and gathered her into his lap until she straddled him. “I knew you’d come around.”

Summary
Jaal’s smirk morphed into a smile, and he placed a kiss on the young woman’s diaphragm. “Speaking of scars,” he added, “what of yours?”
“What about mine?”
“I do not know the story behind this.” Fused fingers brushed over the bubbled texture down Ritika’s left check. She only knew because she saw Jaal’s hand move.

Summary
Mira met Riti's glare with a smirk, which fell with her following sigh. "That's hard, ya know? And awkward. Weird ass Angara."
"Evfra isn't even as free with his emotions as Jaal," Riti muttered into her half-eaten sandwich. She savored its salty flavor, wondering how the Resistance leader could remain so distant. Wasn't that lonely?
"He called me something last time we docked there," added Mira in an undertone. "It was in Shelesh. SAM had a close translation though."
"Which was?"
"Slut."
Riti munched slowly, gaze focused on her sister's deadpan.

Summary
The sisters neared the decorative fountains outside Resistance HQ, slowing their pace when they spotted Mira with Evfra in the shade. Those two were a common sight nowadays, and although churning water from surrounding water muffled their conversation, Mira's smile hinted that she held a pleasant conversion with the Resistance leader.
"It's so weird," Riti blurted out. She hadn't realized when she and Rash stopped, even less so when she had begun to sip her drink.
Her eye twitched as she almost choked and Rash added, "They're, like, polar opposites. Our Mira is a firecracker and he—"
"Looks like he's perpetually sucking on a lemon. Yeah."

Summary
Jaal raised an eye ridge. "There's hardly anything remarkable about me or my life. I'm one of many who served in the Resistance, and my family is small, comparatively. Paaran Shie has fourteen brothers and sisters."
"Which is crazy."
"It's an average number."
"For Angara. How does a true mother stay sane? I get that she doesn't raise the kids on her own, but damn."
"It is a blessing to have so many children; I would be ecstatic if you gave me as many."
A sudden silence fell over the Pathfinder Quarters.Series
