    Summary

    “You could —” His breath heavy from the exertion of trying to walk with the wound in his side, even with support, it takes some time for him to catch it and finish the sentence. “Let up a little.”

    Honestly, she really wishes he hadn’t.

    Irritation huffs out of her as she turns her head toward him, glowering. “I could leave you behind,” she pronounces, “because right now, you’re only slowing me down.” She moves them forward another large forceful step, deliberately digging her fingers into his jacket just over where she knows he’d been hit. “If you don’t want that, then I’d suggest you shut your fucking mouth.”

    The fact that, under his arched brow, she swears there’s a brief flicker of something like faint amusement on his face in response to that, quirking his mouth and lighting up in his eyes, does nothing to improve her opinion.

    Or: two strangers meet on an unremarkable Mid-Rim port planet — or so they thought.
