At first when he wakes up he thinks he's back on Mars, in his apartment, but that can't be. That was years and years ago and the slant of the sunlight into the room was different and the smells and sounds were different.

An enigma. A beautiful, strange enigma. A touch of danger, smart and brave, knows what she wants. He likes a woman like that: not afraid to take what she needs, or what she wants, and he doesn't mind. He's not looking for a burning passionate love affair -- he had one of those and he figures you only really get them once in a lifetime -- but he's pretty pleased with what happened. Even if the speed with which it happened took him by surprise.
Besides, it's kind of nice to have a chance to be with someone who never tried to kill him.
