Chapter 21: Not Mine
The hall got quiet around us.
The patrol head stood there with his hat in his hands, waiting.
Behind him, the lift ops, the housekeepers, the kitchen crew.
My people, once.
I'd fixed their sleds and pulled their trucks out of ditches for nine years.

My father's mountain.
My barn, my office, my name over the lodge door instead of a Quaid's.
Then I looked down at my hands.
"No," I said.
The patrol head blinked.
"I spent my whole life being somebody's on this mountain," I said. "His groomer. His bond. His secret. I'm not going to turn around and make all of you mine."
"It wouldn't be like that."
"That's what everybody thinks, before they've got the voice."
Nobody argued.
I looked past him at the kitchen doorway.
"Besides," I said. "You already have somebody who's been feeding the ones who can't leave."
Every head in the Dark Moon crowd turned.
The cook stood there in her apron, with her arms folded.
