She shook her head, a mist shining in her sad eyes. "Not on this trip.
Not without Jacob. I'll get one of our desert taxis back to Hoover
City. Then I'll be going to Earth for a while. I've got some thinking
to do and thinking is done best on Earth. Out here is the place for
_feeling_." Her eyes lost a little of their pain. "But I'll be back.
Jacob wouldn't stay on Earth. Neither will I. I'll be seeing you."
The big-eared man put his hand on Ben's shoulder.
"Think you can get us back to Juno?" he asked.
Ben looked at Maggie and then at the big-eared man. "You're as good as
there," he said confidently.
