Astien paused a moment. Shit, why was that story he'd told Cormac again? "I'd had a bodyguard before Cormac. He and I... He wasn't just my bodyguard, he also helped with my work, picked up the heavy things for me. We talked a lot. He wasn't as smart as I was, but he ha a wonderful sense of humor, an he'd listen to me go on and on. We'd look at the stars together, me talking and him just listening. He'd tell me stories. It was wonderful." Astien hoped he was remembering his lie right. "And then, I found out I was pregnant. I thought he'd be thrilled, but he was just silent. He didn't say much over a few days. And then one day, I woke up and he was just gone. Him and all his things. All he did leave behind was a note that said 'it can't be mine.'"
