He'd found Martha gorgeous and interesting. Soon she would also be available because her soon-to-be ex-husband Chuck was leaving and Radvar would dissolve that marriage. He'd waste no time moving in, but he knew there would be issues to overcome.
Martha was torn with guilt among other negative feelings. She'd only been with Chuck and soon he'd be gone. She was glad about that, and Rayburn would take his place. When they met, Chuck had a good job, and he did fine. What was fine on Earth, was not good enough on this colony. He'd refused to do the work that was required and now he was leaving. She couldn't deny that she was excited about Rayburn taking his place, but would their relationship become romantic?
With all the struggles to get the farm operating at the level required, when would they possibly find time for love?
