Time's Mirror: a Chronos Files Novella (The Chronos Files)
“Like Mother, she’s short and kind of thin, but Anya’s features are more Asian, with dark hair and eyes. I guess her hands are similar, too—small and delicate, with thin fingers.

I just want to avoid the topic Anya always brings up as soon as there’s a lull in the conversation.Anya smiles. “It’s going well. I’l...l probably never be as quick with some of the systems as those who were trained organically, but…I don’t mind the challenge.
