“Have a seat.”he said and indicated the co-pilot’s chair as he settled into the pilot’s. He looked at her and smiled. “I’m really glad you came, Sha. I’ve missed you… somethin’ fierce.”

Her right shoulder dropped suddenly and the soft guitar case slid down her arm. She caught it easily with her hands and leaned it against the wall. Her duffel came to rest in front of it. Slipping into the seat, she just gazed at Micah. “I’ve missed you too,” she said softly, her words the first she had allowed herself to say.

He smiled and turned to the controls and with a practiced ease awakened the vessel. =/\= Control, this is Union 8-6-9-8. Leaving docks. =/\= there was a small delay and then a voice replied =/\= Union 8-6-9-8 confirmed. =/\= The vessel rose off the deck, retracted its landing gear and moved slowly to the exit. Micah grinned and said “Grab your ta-ta’s, here we go.” and suddenly the vessel shot forward and up with such acceleration that it could be felt even with inertial dampeners. In under a minute they had left Atlanta and streaked north west at altitude high enough to avoid air traffic. Micah looked over and said “Well? What’dya think of my little lady here? Her name is Vanessa.” and he grinned and winked.

Rising from her seat, Shara leaned over Micah and tenderly planted a kiss on his cheek. She’d have done more, but crashing in his ship wasn’t high on her to-do list today. “I think she’s a reflection of her captain,” she said softly, pulling away from him and gazing out the front viewer.

“No no no no… you get back over here.” and he pulled her arm gently and then leaned to meet her halfway. He cupped her chin in his flesh hand and stared into her eyes for a moment. “Sha… I really missed ya. I knew I would… didnt figure it was gonna be as bad as it was.” and he leaned a little more and kissed her fully, exploring her gently and slowly, before slowly pulling back. Eyes still on hers, he smiled and said “Might be jumping the gun a bit, but I got you something… you want it now or at the house?”

“Mmmm,” she said, almost wistfully, her lips still tingling. “Well, on one hand I love surprises when I’m the one doing the surprising, and I’m exceptionally patient, on the other hand, it is you and that must mean something good. So…”-she rested on arm along the crook of his neck, her fingers stroking his hair-“call me too curious for my own good and I’ll have my surprise now.”

Micah grinned and reached into his pocket, pulling out the small rod with little studs on it he had used to open the hatch. “Here.” he said and put it in her hand.”I know ya ain’t the kind to take to being stuck somewhere without an exit well, so thats yours for the next few weeks. You wanna leave, you press right here -” and he set her finger on the top most stud, “-and that gets you in. Right here gets you right back to the shuttle port.” and he pointed to an icon on the display that had a note stuck next to it that read ‘See ya around the galaxy…’.

He looked at her and said “I ain’t never brought nobody here. And I ain’t lookin’ ta bring anyone else but you. Don’t ask me why, ‘cause I can’t explain it an’ I ain’t gonna start tryin’. But know that my house is yours… as long as she you want it. ‘K?”
