Domingo smiled back before lightly lifting Katie’s glass and half-filling it from the bottle on the table. The wine was a vivid and vivacious red. He held out the glass to her to take before scooping up his own and likewise half-filling it.

Having set the bottle down, Domingo then held his glass out to clink with Katie’s. “A toast to fortuitous encounters born from rejoining Starfleet and be graced with the opportunity to meet you.”

He took a moderate sip of the wine and found himself watching Katie intently before his reverie was broken by the dinner alarm. Scooping up both plates while somehow simultaneously making a ‘stay seated’ gesture, Domingo moved back into the kitchen to pull the main course out of the oven. He then swiftly plated the food onto the plates before he then carried them over with hot plate holders. Setting the plates down, one in front of Katie and one at his one spot, he tossed the holders back into the kitchen before taking his seat.

On both plates were a smattering of red, white, green and orange colors. More specifically there were two enchiladas, a taco, some Mexican rice, as well as sour cream, salsa and guacamole on the side.

Lightly tapping her glass to his, Katie took a small sip of her wine and nodded her approval of his selection. She swirled the liquid around in the glass, more out of nervous habit than any formal wine tasting experience. Placing the wine glass back on the table, she flushed and found herself squirming slightly in her chair under Chavez’s intent gaze. The timer’s chirp startled her; her body twitched slightly in her seat before she identified what the noise was. As her date got up to retrieve the food, she leaned back slightly in her chair and closed her eyes for a moment, trying to relax. It had truly been a long time since she had done this and she took a deep calming breath to settle the nagging anxiety in her body.

As he approached with the food, she opened her eyes and sat back up with interest. She wasn’t familiar with the dishes presented, but they all looked amazing and she sniffed appreciatively. “Wow,” she commented with a easy grin. “This is quite the spread.”

Domingo smiled back in response, “My grandmother wouldn’t forgive me for not pulling out all the stops. Firstly because you’re a very beautiful woman and nothing less would suffice, but also because I represent her cooking in your first taste of my heritage. I do hope it’s to your liking.”

Having pick up a fork Domingo began tucking into his dinner, with the occasional sip of wine.

“How are you finding the Ark Angel so far?” he asked.
