You hated physical work, mining more than anything. Sure, it was a position that women did not choose in Jackson but there you were, it had been a mistake by the company and they had told you that the transfer could not be made until you met a certain quota, basically you were working for something totally unfair. In your mining days you met a girl, Navarro, she was very kind, funny and smart and... God, she was cool and, like good friends, she eventually introduced you to her brother, Bjorn.

Bjorn certainly wasn't nice, he wasn't funny (unless a miracle happened and his jokes weren't boring) and sure, he wasn't the smartest, but he was a good friend...sometimes. Anyway, there you three were, doing hours of work, and even overtime, all to be able to request a transfer. Although in all that time, by chance, you became very close to Bjorn, very close to be exact. And you had noticed how little by little it was becoming softer, more pleasant even. So much so that sometimes you felt like he was giving you confusing signals.

“Hey, is it true that you only have 4 months left to leave?” He asked suddenly, breaking you out of your thoughts. It was true, you had almost, almost, met the quota and could request your transfer to the western part of the colony. Bjorn looked sad, it was strange considering your recent feelings for him. They were on their lunch break eating near the cave where they were mining a few hours ago.
