The door whirred open. Standing on the landing pad was the largest living being Clara had ever seen.

The transport pod hissed as it pressurized, sending a cloud of cold vapor across the metallic floor. Clara clutched her small canvas bag, her knuckles white. She had sold everything on Earth to sign up for the Intergalactic Mail-Order Bride program. Earth was gray, overcrowded, and dying. Her destination, the jungle planet of Vandar, promised a fresh start.

Dax swept her up into his arms as if she weighed nothing at all and carried her to his skiff. They flew over sprawling, bioluminescent jungles that glowed with pinks and purples in the twilight.

Dax stared at her as if she were a fragile glass sculpture. According to the agency dossier, Vandarians were desperate for mates due to a severe genetic imbalance on their world. But Dax didn't look desperate; he looked utterly transfixed.
