I kinda keep wondering about that here, though. With all these people who come from places where space flight doesn't happen at all. I wonder what someone like me would do on planets like that."
Then again, there were a lot of things that could have made her a different person. Not being able to fly was one on a long list. "So really, no matter how much some people might find your arrangement odd where they come from, you've got more stable relationships than most married people with their kids and car and pool and two cats. Because you always have each other at the end." She didn't know why it had struck her that way just then, but it did.
