Chapter Twenty-Nine
“So where is she, your human girl?” Ellet asked, looking around Zaron’s living room. She was in Costa Rica this week, and had taken Zaron up on his invitation to visit. “You still have her, right?”
“I do. She’s showering right now,” Zaron said, sitting down on a long floating plank. “She just woke up, so you’ll have to wait a bit to meet her.”
“Ah, you’re letting her sleep in. Good.” Ellet walked over to sit down next to him. Like him, she was dressed in human clothes—a pair of shorts, a tight T-shirt, and hiking boots—but to Zaron’s eyes, she looked unmistakably Krinar, with all the sleek dark beauty of their race. Giving him a wide smile, she said, “I was a bit worried that you might be wearing her out. Humans need so much more rest than us, you know.”
