She nodded. тАЬSix weeks. But I suppose I told you that already last night.тАЭ

тАЬYes.тАЭ

She sat down on the edge of the bed and motioned for him to sit down, but he remained standing. тАЬDo
you have strange dreams when youтАЩre first in?тАЭ
He furrowed his brow and shook his head. тАЬDreams? No, IтАЩve never heard of that.тАЭ

тАЬTo tell you the truth, WinstonтАФitтАЩs Winston, isnтАЩt it?тАФI donтАЩt remember how we met.тАЭ

тАЬI bought you a drink in the bar.тАЭ

She nodded, contemplating the tangle of rumpled sheets. She couldnтАЩt even remember going into the bar.
тАЬI apparently didnтАЩt need it.тАЭ

тАЬMaybe we can make a fresh start,тАЭ he said hopefully. тАЬJust forget about last night.тАЭ

тАЬThatтАЩs easy.тАЭ She laughed. тАЬIтАЩve already forgotten it.тАЭ SheтАЩd been afraid heтАЩd be all over her, but now
he was polite, almost formal. I mustтАЩve laid on the lonely-little-girl bit a little thick last night, she thought,
and now he feels sorry for me. Truth was, she felt sorry for herself. The last six weeks was a series of
hotel rooms. No friends to speak of. Even her old band had quit or wandered away. She wasnтАЩt sure
what had become of them.

тАЬSo what do you say? Seven-thirty? IтАЩll meet you in the lobby.тАЭ

тАЬSure,тАЭ she said. тАЬIтАЩd like to meet some people.тАЭ

тАЬWonderful!тАЭ He bowed again, excusing himself and letting himself out before she even had the chance to
stand up. Maybe my instincts about him were wrong, she told herself. Maybe heтАЩs okay.

She finished her coffee, pushed the icon for another cup, and was reminded again of Star Trek. But this
time it struck herтАФsheтАЩd never seen Star Trek. It was an old TV show, she knew that, but there hadnтАЩt
been any TV since before she was born. The only TV she couldтАЩve seen was playing in the corner in
some period virtual. But there it was, this memory of some guy in a funny uniformтАФCaptain Kirk, his
name wasтАФtaking a cup of coffee out of the wall just as she had done. Who the hell is Captain Kirk?
she wondered. How do I know this? She shook her head, figuring she was just hungover, still spooked
by her dream.

SHE NEEDED TO GET OUT, DO SOMETHING. SHE HUNTED through her bag and found a letter
from her agent listing her dates for the next several weeks. In the letter was the number of the hotel where
her new band was staying. She called and got John, the bass player. He had the visual turned off, so she
didnтАЩt get a look at him, and his voice was low and muffled. She told him she wanted to meet the band at
the club in the morning so they could rehearse before tomorrow night.

тАЬNo problem,тАЭ he said.

тАЬHowтАЩs eleven?тАЭ

тАЬNo problem.тАЭ
