Ethan turned to Rose and asked gently, "Do you want to go somewhere else instead of the park? Of course, if you'd still like, we can go there too."
Rose was still flushed red. She lowered her gaze and asked in a soft, almost whispering voice, "Where do you want to go?"
Ethan smiled. "Another world."
Rose blinked, surprised. "Another planet?"
He leaned slightly closer, a mysterious gleam in his eye. "You'll see. Want to come?"
Rose nodded without hesitation. "Sure."
It didn't matter where they went,what mattered to her was simply being by Ethan's side.
Ethan then altered his genetic code, transforming his molecular signature to that of a native from the World of the Ancients. He wasn't certain if that world had a form of self-awareness,if it did, it might detect him as an intruder. Worse, it might dispatch its strongest warriors to eliminate the anomaly.
He wasn't willing to risk that,especially not with Rose beside him.
