“Uhh, sure…” the nameless ensign repeated, tapping some additional information into the console.

A moment later, Johann’s public calendar appeared on the screen. More than a few moments later, after multiple misspellings, Vora’s appeared right next to it. There was a lot less clutter on her calendar.

“This is the earliest time you both have nothing scheduled. How much time do you want to use?”

Johann looked at Vora. “Two weeks?”

Vora nodded. “Yeah, that would work. Plenty of flexibility for travel. ” Now that they were actually setting this up, she found herself getting rather excited. She glanced at Johann with a gleam in her eyes.

The nameless ensign kept typing, and in a moment both calendars showed that their owners would be on leave during that period.

“72665 to 72701,” he said a moment later. “Is there anything else I can do for you, sir?”

“That’s all for me,” Johann said.

“Ma’am?”

“No, thank you. That’s all for me,” Zorell said with a bow of her head.

Leaving Operations, she had a wide grin on her face that she couldn’t wipe off if she tried. Entering the trubolift, Vora called out. “Commercial Deck.” The lift thrummed as it moved down through the station and she once again gazed at Johann. But, still smiling, she was more than gazing. It could have been considered staring, but she was just suddenly awed, as she had on more than one occasion with this man.

He seemed rather confused about what all of that was about.

“Marry me,” she blurted out suddenly, but even to her own ears it sounded earnest and intentional.

Johann suddenly burst out laughing.

“That was kind of the idea, actually,” he explained with a smile that had persisted from before. The irony of the situation was very amusing. “I was figuring that I’d put that statement to you in the form of a question sometime during the trip. You know, all proper like. Do you want to skip it?”

“The trip or the whole proper statement part?” she asked coyly, smirking.

“Both. You know, that whole thing I was saying about going forwards instead of backwards or whatever earlier that sounded so apt. “

He stood very close to her. “Either way, we should celebrate. Right now.” He gave her a kiss as the turbolift continued descending, slowly.

Kissing him back deeply, Vora felt a lightness inside that she remembered feeling that first time they kissed after the absolute failure of a camping trip on the holodeck. She could only describe it as feeling ‘right’. Pulling back slightly enough to speak, she whispered in his ear, “So… is that a yes?”

Lt. (j.g) Zorell, Sciences

“Yes,” he whispered back. Unlike that first time, he wasn’t hesitant. Not yet, anyway.

He was also content to resume kissing immediately after clearing that point of confusion up.
