Daggum took her hand and said “I’m really sorry that had to happen, Faye. And while I wouldn’t change the outcome to save my life, I wish the journey here hadn’t needed to be so painful for you. I think both of us have had enough pain… we’ve earned our joy and happiness. And I suppose that no one else but us could appreciate that as much as we do… so it’s a good thing we found each other. And… and I have never been happier than when I am with you. Tonight, today… a year ago when we sat together on the Manhattan… those moments and this one are the best ones of my life, so far. And all them have you in common.” and he squeezed her hand and then took a drink.

As she so often could, Faye got lost a little in those emerald eyes of his and yet there was never a risk of losing her way. “Gods, we’re sappy she said with a giddy little grin. She wasn’t complaining, either. “A year ago I would have rolled my eyes at a couple like us. And here we are.”

“Seriously. I’m stealing a case of this stuff. The Lounge manager on the Athena and I are at odds… maybe a peace offering is in order.” and he chuckled.

Daggum

Faye laughed lightly and sipped from her glass again. “Okay, so two things: what’s up for the lounge manager, and are we ordering all our courses art once or one at a time?”

As if on cue, the server arrived again and handed them each an elegant menu and then said “I will return for your order in a moment.” and then left. Daggum opened the menu and said “So I hope I did okay with the selections.”

The menu was printed and broken into four sections. In the appetizer section there was a choice between Spicy Mantruvian Oranges, Denobulian Mussels in White Wine, and a Charcuterie of Delta Quadrant meats and cheeses. In the salads section the choices were between a classic Earth Wedge salad, Chilled Tarkanian Prawn Cocktail, and a wholly-unpronounceable-but-possibly-fruit-maybe? salad. Entrees choices were Bajoran Beef Tips and Wild Mushroom Gravy, Roasted Vulcan vegetables, and Sweet and Sour Peasant Soup (it is and entree!). The dessert section was Bajoran Chocolate Cake, Tireesian Tiramasu, and Ice Cream (assorted flavors, no strawberry).

Daggum looked at her and said “I really tried to keep it easy, but still leave you room to explore a bit.”

Daggum

Faye inhaled slowly and nodded and when she looked up at Daggum, she smiled. “Doable,” she said with relief. Having also never been to a fancy restaurant, she was already slightly self-conscious about being here, but that had been fading rather fast the longer she sat here with Dag. “The last thing we need is extra places for my brain to carve new paths through. “You should have seen me trying to figure out clothes for this week,” she said with a lopsided smirk.

When the server returned and it was her turn to order, Faye bit her lower lip and then exhaled. “Okay, I’ll have the oranges to start, then the mussels, beef tips and…” Faye grinned wider, “…the chocolate cake.”
