Building Harlequin’s Moon
“She pushed her hair out of her eyes and started looking under leaves for red-eyed tree frogs. Her assignment was to find as many frogs as she could and get DNA samples to compare to Earth stock records.
She imagined the frogs loose on Selene. Gloria would love them. She loved all bright-colored things, and the frog’s bright red eyes would fascinate her. Harry would like them too.
Rachel and Harry sent each other notes every day, but what she really wanted was to see him, hold him, bury her face... in his shoulder, take him into her body. She wanted to see her father’s smile when he came in the door and found her home. She had lots of news from home: her dad twisted his ankle, Andrew was back, Ursula was having a hard time doing fieldwork; she loved planting but the machines still scared her. Sometimes when Rachel got back to her room after an exhausting day of lessons, she closed the door and just sat with her back against it, trembling, missing Selene.
Each day felt like a new test. Today, it was undoubtedly whether or not she could find enough frogs.MoreLess
