“ Lindsey Keeping had no idea that she was dating an alien. If she had known, it would have bothered her. She had lived too sheltered a life to be friendly with aliens. At best she tolerated them. At worst she stared, disgusted, when what she thought were their backs were turned. She was young, and the prejudices learned in her youth had not yet been worn out of her. She grew up on a small planet in a large, predominately human system. She didn’t see her first alien until she was twenty years... old and left her planet for work. She had dreams of working on a trade ship, hopefully owning one herself some day, and had moved to a space station thinking it would increase her chances. When she turned twenty-two she was still working at a diner on the station. She hadn’t set foot on another ship since she arrived. The station was the largest in the system and served as a central trade hub for all of its planets. It was in the center of the system, in a close orbit with its star. A variety of species came into the diner for food and, to Lindsey’s relief, most used the automated services instead of bothering her in poorly translated English.MoreLessRead More Read Less
