The male of the species was a closed book to Blaise.

A book in another language, eight-point type, an overly fancy font, and with minimal punctuation. Sure, she could guess at a word here . . . or there . . . maybe, but it was pretty much Homo sapiens incognito. So when she was confronted with one of the XY types . . .

Blaise removed her sunglasses slowly, buying time to think of something, anything, to say while the specimen before her shifted impatiently. He loomed, blocking out the sunlight seeping slow as honey through the glass dome. Against that golden haze she can’t make out his details except for strong solidity.
