ZEVRIS’S PHONE chimed from the passenger seat, indicating another
received message.
He gritted his teeth and tightened his grip on the steering wheel, making
the leather covering creak. The vehicle’s speed crept higher—sixty-one,
sixty-two, sixty-three. Eight miles per hour over the speed limit, then ten. A
small, tight, sinking feeling settled low in his gut as his body was pressed
back against the pilot’s chair.
Driver’s seat, he corrected.
He’d never encountered a language with so many words that had similar
but nuanced meanings, and that wasn’t even taking into account that there
were differing dialects of English spoken in different parts of this world that
complicated things even further.
His phone chimed again. He wound his tail, which was currently hidden
in his pants, tight around his calf. For an instant, he had the impulse to
snatch the phone off the seat, crush it in his fist, and throw the damned
thing out the window. He’d been tempted to do so to Kindra’s phone more
than once during dinner this evening.
With a growl, he eased off the accelerator. His frustrations were valid,
but he could not—would not—allow them to cloud his judgment. Speeding

side. He’d had more than enough of such devices for one lifetime.
I need only complete this mission, and I am free. My service will be
over, and I may find peace…
Zevris forced a heavy breath out through his nostrils and tossed the
phone down. Somehow, he managed to still his mind and simply drive for a
few minutes. The freeway was flanked on either side by lush trees and
shrubs in brilliant greens that were contrasted by tufts of dry, pale brown
grass beneath them. The dichotomy seemed a fitting one for humans;
Earth’s dominant species was an indecipherable bundle of contradictions
and conflicting natures.
Kindra had been one in a long line of failed connections for Zevris.
He’d dated numerous human females since he’d arrived on Earth nearly a
year before, and each of those would-be relationships had quickly crumbled
for various reasons.
Some of the females, especially early on, had seemed attracted to him
physically but were made uncertain by his mannerisms and speech patterns.
It had taken time to understand a frustrating truth about the English
language—using a word exactly according to its definition did not
necessarily mean it was the right word. He still made those mistakes,
