“I had no idea you went through something that messed you up when you were a kid.” Jane patted her hand. “Looking at it that way, those matches of yours have actually been pretty respectful. That’s not exactly common. You do realize forced matches like yours are rooted in genetic selection, right? Compared to normal couples, the physical pull is way stronger. Sometimes it only takes a look or a hug set everything off.”
Seeing the shock on Ava’s expression, she went on, “There was this question online before. What’s the highest quality sex for humans? Someone said it’s forced matching. A full-on merge of body and soul.”
Ava parted her lips. “That sounds a little over the top.”
Jane tilted her head, a faint, knowing smile on her lips. “Whether it’s over the top or not, you’ll understan once you experience it yourself.”
Ava looked off toward the rushing river in the distance, her brows knitting slightly.
“Ava!” Jane called out again. “There’s nothing shameful about intimacy. There’s nothing shameful about wanting someone physically, either. You feel trapped in this forced living situation right now, but look at from another angle. Those men are reaching out to you.
They’re trying to court you. Sure, there might be some rivalry and even a bit of wariness between them, but at the end of the day, they want something deeper with you. And honestly, they’re probably insecure about this whole thing, too.
“That’s why they’re so eager to move in with you, to step into your life, to feel you there, to convince themselves this relationship is real and stable.”
She had no idea how much of that Ava would actually take in.
Everyone saw relationships differently, shaped by their own past and experiences. She was not Ava, so she could not make that choice for her.
“Ava, we only get a few hundred years at most. You should live a little freer. A lot of people out there are stuck in terrible marriages, like my grandpa. It was purely contractual. There wasn’t a trace of love between them,” Jane continued. “I don’t know what your life used to look like, but I get the feeling you’re holding yourself back with all these invisible rules.
“Don’t let that stuff trap you. You’ve got to loosen up. Enjoy love. Enjoy sex. Enjoy life!”

After sending it, she kept her eyes on the screen for a moment.

“Hey Ava, are you home by yourself? I can make it back to Capitol Planet today, I’ve got a shuftlecraft two this afternoon,” he said, practically buzzing with excitement.
Ava typed back a short reply. “Thanks for working so hard.”
A while later, Ethan texted too. “Got held up with something
“I’ll be back in a bit,” Keith explained.
“Be there soon,” Mason followed up.
“Yeah, on my way,” Laurent added not long after.
“What are you guys up to? Why are you being so secretive?” Ryan asked.
“None of your business. Stay out of it and stop digging.” Mason shot back.
“What’s your problem? You think I even care enough to ask?” Ryan snapped, annoyed.
“Ava, once I get to Capitol Planet, I’ll come by and see you.” He sent in a second message.
The group chat went quiet. About twenty minutes later, the door opened.
Ava quickly got up from the couch and walked over. “You guys are ba
She stopped mid-sentence when she saw the group standing at the door.
Each of them looked roughed up. She hesitated, then asked, “What did you guys even do? Why do you all look like this?”
I get Mason, Keith, and Laurent, sure. But why is Ethan in the mix, too?
