Mariah knew everyone was likely anxious to get back to their own tasks following the promotion ceremony, but Mariah felt funny about leaving without saying another word to Commander Haven. The Chief of Security had made a point to speak to her before the ceremony began and Grayson appreciated it. She wanted to say goodbye at the very least, to repay Haven’s friendliness.

Approaching Haven, she offered, “I’m happy for all those who were promoted, but I was sorry we didn’t get to chat more. I don’t wish to hold you up, but I didn’t want to be rude about saying goodbye.”
