It had been three days since the mission was over and the kids resettled elsewhere. Xandra had stayed in her room the first night afterwards using lack of sleep as an excuse to not stay with Ric.

Last night she had managed to work in the sims long enough that Ric was passed out in his room when she’s checked on him. It had given her the excuse to go to her room alone once more.

But tonight she’d had no excuse. Ric and her were both off and he’s invited her to dinner. They’d been nearly inseparable for a couple months now so the ‘yes’ had been automatic but welcome on her lips. She missed him terribly. And besides, maybe in his bed tonight she wouldn’t have the nightmares. Wouldn’t have to explain them, or explain her reasons for not waking beside him to mornings in a row.

She tapped the chime panel and raised a hand to check her coiled braid. The sapphire tunic and skin tight leggings made her look long and lean. The calf high black boots finished the outfit. A gold torc at hey neck and small gold dangle earrings matched the gold twined serpent coiled around her left bicep. It was subtle but a look she knew he liked on her.

Ric replied, “Enter”, and as the door slid open, his jaw dropped when Xandra entered the room. When he was finally able to speak and regain his senses, all he said was, “That is nice!”

He pulled out a chair for her to take a seat at the table. When she was comfortable, he walked back to the kitchen area, explaining his plans for dinner. “I was in the mood for some Southern food today, seeing as my momma considered herself a Southern Belle, having grown up in Georgia, we’ll start with a drink.”

He brought out to glasses filled with alcohol which had a minty scent to it. “A mint julep,” he explained. “Some good bourbon, some rum, and topped of with some mint leaves.” Ric set one glass down in front of Xandra and the other near his seat.

“And for the main course–some southern fried catfish. Unfortunately, the catfish had to be replicated. It’s kinda hard to get fresh catfish out here.”
