“Elian produces a small vial from his pocket with a flourish. “It’s less wily, but equally duplicitous.”
“Poison?” I muse. “Were you keeping that around for your future wife?”
“It’s not lethal,” Elian says. For a killer, he seems oddly offended at the idea. “And no.” He pauses, then turns to me with a half-smile. “Unless you were my wife.”
“If I were your wife, then I’d take it.”
“Ha!” He throws his head back and pockets the vial once more. “Thankfully that’s not something we have to worry about.”

“I’d be flattered,” I say, “that you would look for an excuse just to hold my hand.”
“Perhaps I’m just looking for an excuse to shoot you.”

“To the stars who listen—and the dreams that are answered.”
