She approaches me with pain in her eyes.
“Why do you refer to Trip as a ‘mate’?”
Her tone promises me a speedy death

“But Americans don’t use it that way.
My date with Hoshi is in half an hour.”

You're so dang good at what you're doing! Really it's irritating in a good way. But with all of this tragedy I almost want to stop reading BUT I CAN'T! Dang you got me hooked.
