to stay there with Roz?” he quirked an eyebrow.
    “Well, no. She was asking too many questions,” Jess said.
    “I heard the last question she asked you. She was prying,” he said crossly.
    “She didn’t know why I was on the ship. I thought everyone on board knew,” Jess said. She was perplexed.
    “Not everyone. Only Ashton, his wife and two key officers are aware of our situation,” Troy explained. “And it needs to stay that way.”
    “She asked me about my parents and their Tablet. I didn’t know how to answer her,” Jess said.
    “Your natural parents are of the Shozar Tablet. It describes the origins of your family’s genealogy. Your heritage,” Troy explained.
    “Oh good Lord! There is so much I have to learn. I don’t know if I can do this,” she cried.
    She put her head down on her arm that was lying atop the ledge. Troy wanted to reach out and caress her thick hair that had fallen over her shoulder. She was so damn tempting. He sighed deeply. It was only a matter of time before he did something that was not brotherly. He knew it would happen as well as he knew his name. What he wasn’t sure of was her reaction.
    “You can do anything you wish to accomplish,” he said.
    She lifted her head.
    “That’s easy for you to say. This is your world. Your magic. Your home. It’s what you know,” she said. “It’s just the opposite for me. Everything is strange and alien. It’s not my home.”
    “But it will be. Just give it some time. Who you are is already awakening in you. All you need to do is embrace it,” he encouraged. “You’re strong, intelligent and incredibly intuitive. Allow your natural instincts to guide you.”
    Jess was silent for a moment.
    “How do you feel about what happened earlier?” he asked.
    “You’re referring to my spontaneous burst of power?” she asked.
    “Yes,” he said.
    She heaved a heavy sigh.
    “I’m trying to come to grips with it. To think of myself as a super-being seems ridiculous. But I guess it’s a truth that I must accept,” she answered.
    “It will get easier. Your gifts will reveal themselves in small doses. It should be easier to get used to them that way,” he said.
    “And when I do, what then?” she asked.
    “You will have to accept a magnitude of power that’s never been seen. The universe is waiting for you,” he said gently.
    “And if I say: no thank you?” she asked but knowing the answer.
    “It’s your fate to accept this glorious gift. It is your destiny,” he replied.
    Jess took several moments to digest his words. She realized that she needed more time to adjust than these few minutes in his presence. She would think more about it tonight when she was alone in her rom.
    “You said that Roz was prying. Why?” Jess asked.
    Troy knew what she was doing and let it go. He would not press.
    “Roz senses there is more about you than we are telling. She knows I have been with you for quite some time and she wants to know why,” he related.
    “She wants to know if we are lovers,” Jess exclaimed. “She has interest in you.”
    Troy looked uncomfortable.
    “Maybe,” he responded curtly.
    “Have the two of you been involved?” Jess asked. Jess held her breath.
    “No. But she’s wanted a relationship for quite some time,” he replied.
    “And what did you want?” she pressed. She needed to know.
    “You! I want you,” he thought passionately.
    “Roz is a friend. And that’s all she will ever be,” he said.
    Jess could breathe. She exhaled a long sigh.
    “When she and I were in the conservatory I had an uneasy feeling about her. I guess now would be a good time to follow my intuition and keep a safe distance from her.
    “Yes. Give in to them. They will never steer you in the wrong direction. Trust them,” he urged.
    “As I am to trust you?” she smiled.
    “Absolutely,” he laughed.
    His smile slowly faded as he stared at her. She was so incredibly lovely as she shared his laughter. Her innocence was
