CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

Ten years ago, a strange person of great beauty arrived in the Chicago area. Anthony had never seen such a woman before in all his life. She had long, blonde hair, large, dark, almond-shaped eyes, and a confident posture.

He fell in love with her immediately.

They started dating, seeing each other with more and more frequency as the weeks wore on, and soon, they got engaged. On a colorful September Saturday, they were married in a small Catholic Church in a suburb of Chicago.

But two years into their marriage, tragedy struck. A drunk driver was weaving ahead of them on the road, and with the distraction, Anthony didn't see the eighteen-wheeler coming straight at him from the oncoming traffic.

Eve was killed almost instantly.

Eight years later, Anthony paid a visit to the new frontier in space discoveries. It was a planet called Novacadia.

There, while working with the friendly, talkative natives, he met the next new love of his life.

Her name was Kate, and she was a fellow astronaut.

She was absolutely charming.
