Mike leaned against the door and watched his wife dance and twirl and sing. She really did have a great voice, and it him no amount of joy to see her moving without struggling to breathe. As her song came to a close, he said “You know… why don’t I do the diplomat stuff and you be the singer? I think you’d do better.” and he smiled and winked at her.

Mike ‘I Knew Her Before She Was Famous’ McKenzie

Revna let out a small sound somewhere between a gasp a squeak and a soft yelp as she spun around. She grinned, blushing bright red at being caught. Butterflies took off in her stomach as he winked at her. She shook her head, “No, I can sing well enough, but I can’t create.” She walked into his arms and reached up joining her hands behind his neck. “Besides your voice moves worlds, Mike.” Though singing with him at the piano was already one of her most favorite moments of her life. They would have to do that again, maybe just not in public (though he could probably convince her to do it). She kissed him just long enough…and then pulled back slightly. “I didn’t know you were awake. But now that you are…” She kissed him again before stepping back, “Go get dressed. I’m paying up on date tonight.” She winked at him before turning to pick up the tray she left the beads in. Her hair was different, less than half the beads were in her hair and were woven in a line across her hair, and rather than braided, it was down.
Revna ‘I’m up to something’ McKenzie

“Oh really? It’s about time. I was startin’ to think you were gonna welch.” and he grinned and leaned in for a kiss… and then playfully smacked her rear and said “I need to get my clothes in here anyway! I’ll be back in a minute!” and he left the room to go get his things from his room.

thirty minutes later he was back and dropped three bags on the floor. “Sorry, love. Had to stop and get something to wear for tonight.” and walked into the room with a garment bag over one shoulder.

Mike ‘I Make This Look Good’ McKenzie

Revna came out from the bedroom already dressed in a wine colored floor length dress. The design made the dress slip on like a long coat. The shoulders extended down to elbow length sleeves that were split from elbow to curve of the shoulder. The dress wrapped and tied around her waist and was satin to her knees then extending to floor in lace, so that when she walked, the dress split to her knee allowing a glimpse of her legs. She was carefully lifting her hair out from the back of the dress when she walked in. She smiled at him. “It’s fine we still have a little time. And honestly I don’t think their giving our table away.” She grinned, being the diplomatic attaché apparently had some perks. Being Mike’s wife had more, and that had nothing to do with his ‘fame.’ She sat down on the couch and grinned at him nodding at the garment bag, “Well go on then, I can’t wait for the show.”
Revna ‘I’m waiting with baited breath’ McKenzie

Mike stared and his mouth feel open slightly. At her command, he said “Huh? Uh… oh. Right. Yeah… be right back.” and he walked out of the room, his eyes never leaving her until the door slid closed.

Ten minutes later, Mike came through the door. He was dressed in a fitted three-piece suit. Charcoal gray suit coat and vest with a white, nehru collar shirt with black onyx buttons and cufflinks. He smiled at her and opened one side of the coat. The inside was bright (some would call it ‘brothel’) red with patches from different bands sewn in. He looked at her and said “Well come on, then. Pay up.” and he offered her his arm.

Mike ‘I Was Stunned But I Recovered’ McKenzie

She grinned wickedly at him as he made his way into bedroom. Once the door closed she got up and got a very cold glass of water before returning to the couch to wait for him. When he came back in she sat in appreciative silence for a moment taking him in, and then she stood taking his arm stretching up to kiss him on the cheek. “You look really nice.” Then she led him out the door, down through the lobby, past the Eclipse bar and into the station proper. There were a few stares and whispers, but mostly they were left mostly unbothered, until they got to the bottom level of the station and the crowd got thicker the closer they got to “The View.”

A man in a white shirt, black pants and suit jacket and a bright purple bow tie spotted her, perked right up and left his station by the door. “Mrs McKenzie, this way this way, your table is waiting.” And he proceeded to make a path through the crowd for them. It was a comical moment for Revna. She knew she had the reservation and so would be taken right in, but the amount of pomp the man was creating made it hard not to laugh.

He led them through the main dinning room, past the bar, and into a private dinning room. The floor and outer wall were all glass, the table situated so they could sit next to each other and see out to the view. The man left two menus on the table and then handed Revna a third, “I might suggest,” and he tipped the menu back towards himself to point at a listing. Revna pulled the list away from him, gently. “Thank you, but I think we handle this part.” There were two glasses of ice water in wine glasses on the table and that was it. The lights were low allowing the outside view to take center stage.
Revna ‘are you ready for this’ McKenzie

“Rev…” Mike said as he sat, dumbfounded, by the view. “This… this is just so…” and he smiled. “So spectacular.” and he leaned over, his hand going to the back of her neck and his lips to hers, and he kissed for as long as he could in such a setting. “I love you so much, Revna McKenzie.” he said, the view outside forgotten for the view next to him.
