Her teeth tugged on her lower lip for a moment and Faye nodded. “I am in the middle of drafting a message. Got sidelined and I also want to make sure I get it right. But I’ll make sure Linella gets it shortly and we’ll see what she decides.” She fell quiet for a moment and blew out a breath. “I kind of hope she says yes, ya know? She’s got a lot of years left and she’s done her time. Whatever her crimes might have been, she deserves a chance for something new.”

“Agreed. And no one ‘deserves’ to be a slave… no matter how well they are treated.” Daggum said firmly.

A scowl crossed Faye’s face. “That’s not what I meant and you know that,” she said, unable to hold off the edge in her voice. Of course Linella didn’t deserve to be a slave, but she had also had the option of something else had she desired to ask for it. But having the option to do something and have a reason to were two very different things.

Daggum jerked his head to face her and almost said something, but he took a breath and said “I know… I know… I’m just on edge after that call. Sorry.” He patted the back of her leg and stood up, cracking his neck like he did when he was stressed. “I’m gonna go soak for a bit. I just… yeah.” and he shook his head and bent low and kissed her cheek. “I love you, Faye.” and he turned and walked into the bedroom and then the bathroom and closed the door. A few moments later water was running into the hottub.

She watched him leave and a part of her knew that sometimes people just needed time to herself. Dag was deserving of that time too. But they were still newlyweds and a part of her didn’t like to see him ill at ease, nor did she like having anything even slightly off between them.

A minute later she moved to the bathroom door and knocked softly. “Want some company? No is an acceptable answer.”

~Faye

“Thirty minutes, if that is okay.” came a muffled response followed by a light splash.

“You bet,” was all she said and Faye just grabbed the padds she set on the table and settled on the sofa. Tess instantly

Thirty minutes passed and Daggum hadn’t really moved, letting the super-hot water and steam relax his muscles and ease his mind. “I’m good for company if you still want to!” he yelled through the door.

Daggum

Faye couldn’t help the grin that slipped on to her face. She set her reading and her cat to the side and got up, unzipping her jacket. She draped it over the back of her usual dining chair and moved to the bedroom. She appeared a minute later, devoid of clothes and simply slipped into the bathroom.

Her eyes drank in the swaths of green skin and without a word, Faye simply slipped into the large tub with him, snuggling in against his body, her head nestled in the crook of his arm. I love you,” she said softly.

Daggum’s head rested back and his eyes were closed as he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. “I know.” he replied, and then grinned broadly.

“So. When we are finished here do you want to see the file Paul sent? Vid of the place since we took over.” he asked without opening his eyes.
