Genifer had been pleased to see him and to make the acquaintance of their half-siblings. Even after their father had been killed, she’d kept up ties that Tom would rather have seen dissolved. Since the car’s dogbrain was handling the highway driving, Tom couldn’t avoid looking at the picture she dug out of her purse. He made what he hoped were proper half-brotherly noises of approval. They were good enough to satisfy Genifer. Unfortunately she took the feigned interest as real, and spent the rest of the trip detailing the kid’s boring corporate and school career. She was still going when they left the car and walked to the gateway of the Telestrian East Family Enclave, where the viewing was being held at the public facilities center.
