The Disestablishment of Paradise
“Both were left with their thoughts.
Mack retired early to the SAS. Hera went for a walk in the woods.
I saw it then. Alone under the trees. I had let myself be so besotted by the Dendron. I had not seen what was there before me. I had taken Mack for granted. I don’t think I had even thanked him properly for all that he did. And of course he never told me. Well how could he? That I had kissed him when I was swept away by the Dendron’s . . . whatever.
What a fool! How could I have bee...n so blind? And now I had lost him.
That really left me with only one choice.

Hera was sitting, her hair pinned back tightly and wearing a lightweight unisex meshlite overall. ‘I thought we ought to talk before you went,’ she said without turning, and poured him a coffee.MoreLess
