No one. None of your lovers. Not your closest family and friends. To the world beyond this villa that woman is you." How can that be? I didn't know yo...u had the technology to clone people in that way." There's a lot you don't know," said Beatrice."Why didn't you replace me by this clone before? Why have you waited until the Intrepid was very nearly at the Anomaly until you decided to do this? Why have you teased me in this way for so many months?" I have no wish to cause you or anyone else more. ”Addison brought her knees up and cuddled closer. “I can help,” she said. “I can tell you about things that happened.”Dad slipped his arm around her and squeezed. “Maybe. Stories won’t replace feelings or emotions. Don’t worry about it, honey. It is what it is.”Cuddled to his side, Addison picked up his scent. It was different. She tried to understand why. Then it hit her. Dad used to wear aftershave. Now he didn’t. Now, his smell was different, cleaner, yet distinct and nicer.“Well, you should. After pushing through the crowd I thought I found my husband but he was standing with three other Storm Troopers in the room by the bar chatting with him. I walked into the middle of the group and felt one of the Troopers grope my butt. I turned around and winked as I lightly elbowed my husband, “Jeez, you better keep a tight hold of my leash, wouldn’t want to mix you up and fool around with the wrong guy.” I could hear his muffled laugh in response. “Yeah, I wouldn’t want to miss out on that.”. And with his full beard, he was no longer Jimmy. He was Jim.“I can’t very well let my Godchildren live on the street, now can I?” Jim’s smile got even bigger. Obviously, that would never happen. Even though they would only be thirty minutes away, it would be strange having them all move out after all these years.
