COMPARING VALUE
By Jean Robinson

When he brought her to the very plausible state of
Oregon, she was wary. She'd heard all about him,
listened to all the incredulous remarks from her
co-workers when they learned of her transfer. "God,
Dana, you're committing professional suicide. You
might as well resign."

Eight years, a few government conspiracies, assorted
trips to both ends of the earth and several hundred
alien-chasing, liver-eating, cockroach-infested,
ghost-busting cases later, she wonders if they were
right all along.

If being dragged on this harum-scarum ride into his
world of make-believe, listening to him brush aside
her science and poke fun at her dog and embarrass her
daily was worth it. If he was worth it.

He refused to let her sacrifice her name to save his.
Held her through confusion and tears, when she didn't
know where to go or who to trust.

Now he's agreed to father her child, change her life.
Yes, he's worth it.
