Why this must be read: Cofax has a master's skill with character and storytelling. She writes action that's quick and smart, and her ability to interweave atmosphere and emotion with the sparest touch takes my breath away. Her work reads effortlessly, the story unfolding and deepening before your eyes. And this story is a classic.

He's not guttered, but he's been drinking since he got the word, the crystal Chi slipped him that morning is pressing uncomfortably against his hipbone, and he really needs to take a piss. He stands up, resting his palms against the table for support, and stares at Aeryn. She stares back, and neither of them look at Tevlin.

He can't tell if it's still there, whatever they had. She's with Tevlin now, with the Resistance. She left, and she never came back. Crichton can't tell what she's thinking when she looks at him, but he remembers the taste of the soft spot behind her ear, and the way her voice would break--

Fuck it.

"Jake can show you out."

Of all the crappy little bars on rundown stations at the ass end of the universe, she had to walk into mine.
