title: Enigma Man
author: West, Nicola
description: And then the full realization ... what had been happening, of what could so easily have happened, of what she had been wanting to happen, struck suddenly into her mind. And she jerked herself out of his arms, staring at him with all her old panic in her eyes. "Cassa! Don't look like that -- I'm not going to hurt you." "You're not going to do anything to me!" she exclaimed, putting several feet of space between them with one spring, "I don't know what I was thinking of." "I do!" he interrupted, grinning. "I must have gone mad -- there's a full moon somewhere -- I was out of my mind -- it meant nothing, nothing." She backed against the old wall, feeling the rough stones like reality under her hands. "You understand that don't you, Jet. It meant nothing -- and it's never going to happen again."
