There'd been, as Meiersdottir had predicted, no further strife at all between the Edenites and the humans; instead, all had been working productively ...ith one another to the great benefit of both species.The human biologists, led by Singh and Sviatoslavski, had lately announced that they were on the verge of a breakthrough regarding the natives' telepathic linkage.

They had won 5 -4 on Tuesday and 9-7 last night. Once Kaitlin joined us, she was so excited about the game. I cut the cards. She dealt out five as our game was five card draw. I got a pair of aces and the rest was garbage. I discarded three cards. Deb also discarded three. When I got my new cards, I picked up a third ace. I was beaming, not keeping much of a poker face. I thought I had it in the bag. Deb was also smiling as she picked up her three new cards. “Sorry babe,” I said as I laid down my three aces. “Read’em and weep,” I bragged.
