It had been almost a fortnight since she and Achilleas had been on the holodeck together. And more than once since then had Riani found her mind wandering back to that hour. Some times it made her feel mortified, other times it brought a timid smile to her face. Always depending on what part of their outing she happened to think of at the moment. And it was now her turn to be the cook and host during this outing.She had meant to arrive a few minutes early and set everything up. And in a way she had. The program was running and she was standing in front of the doors; dressed in knee-long denim skirt, black sandals and simple, lilac coloured t-shirt, a basket on her arm. She was feeling like a complete fool. If only she could bring herself to enter the holodeck!

Achillas turned a bend and the holodeck was in sight. Curiously enough Ria was still standing right outside the door and hadn’t gone in. Was there a problem? Having slowed his steps, he quietly arrived next to her and studied the entryway. Everything looked to be in working order.

“Hey, is everything alright?” he spoke with some concern.

Ria was lost in her own mind and hadn’t heard Achilleas approach. So when he suddenly talked to her, she jumped ever so slightly and a soft yelp escaped her lips. Clapping her free hand to her chest, her cheeks pink, she looked sheepishly up at him. “No, it’s … working fine,” she admitted and then continued even more hesitantly, “I just … I don’t know … couldn’t walk inside.” She dropped her gaze and looked down at her feet, feeling silly and embarrassed.

Achilleas had a hardly contained amused grin on his face. He held out a hand to Ria and said, “Come on. Let’s go in together.”
