“Mother, I’ve decided. I’m moving out,” said Robin Lefler.
“Oh?” said Morgan Primus.
“I’m an adult, and it looks bad that we’re still sharing quarters. I can’t have men over.”
“Mmm,” said Morgan, vaguely disinterested in Robin’s sex life.
“I’m going, and I won’t be back.”
“Does Captain Calhoun know?”
“Mother!”
“You’ll have your own cabin?”
“I’ve resigned. Leaving Starfleet completely.”
“Wherever are you going, dear?”
“I’m joining an interplanetary circus. Learning the art of swinging from a trapeze could open whole new worlds for me.”
“Sounds nice, dear. Be sure to write.”
Robin stamped her feet as she left.
