Jilleen stood to the side while Tra and Admiral Pierce talked. She looked into her glass and did not see the point of getting drunk tonight. It would only make matters worst when she returned to her husband’s quarters tonight. Gods I can be dumb, she thought to herself. What in the world did Elihu tell him and how much does James know?
She would wait until Tra and the Admiral were done before she excused herself from the party and return to Avalon on the next available flight. She was not looking forward to this.
