Holman agreed and picked up his half-finished cup of coffee. "And we can leave lots of the stuff here. If we're going to use this as sort of a summer place. I don't think we'll have to worry about vandals."
From the doorway Nancy said, "Not many girls bring a spaceship as a dowry."
Holman took her shoulders and turned her back into the room. "We can make Shandy sort of a watch-dog."
"If he ever comes back."
"It's only little more than a day he's been gone."
"You were unkind to him."
"I know. I'm sorry."
Nancy edged around him and went to stand by the stove. "More coffee?"
"Okay." Holman was halfway to her when the knock sounded on the spaceship door.
"Maybe it's Shandy," Nancy said, partly surprised, partly relieved.
