anything.
"I learned something in there," Ralph said. "We were like that poor
insane creature in a way. We were too wrapped up in the asteroid and the
mine. We forgot to live from day to day, to scrape up a few bucks every
now and then maybe and take in a show on Ceres or have a weekend on
Vesta. What the hell, Di, everybody needs it."
"Yes," she said.
"Di?"
"Yes, Ralph?"
"I--I want to give it another try, if you do."
"The mine?"
"The mine eventually. The mine isn't important. Us, I mean." He paused,
his hands still over the controls. "Will it be Mars?"
"No," she said, and sat up and kissed him. "A weekend on Vesta sounds
very nice. Very, very nice, darling."
Ralph smiled and punched the controls. Minutes later they had left the
sargasso--both sargassos--behind them.
