Manhattan arrived at exactly 0500, and was docked at the air lock by 0520. Revna used her emanate departure to make her way quickly through the air lock and onto the station.

Mike was waiting and smiled broadly at her. “Hey… I’m supposed to meet some chick here for a quickie. You wouldn’t happen to know her would you?” and he scooped her up off the deck and hugged her to him, kissing her like she was the last glass of water to a man dying of thirst.

Revna couldn’t help it, the sight of Mike brought a huge smile to her face. “I might know her, about this tall, copper blonde hair full of small bits of metal, been really lonely for the last two mo....” and then she was in his arms and he was kissing her and she could breathe again.

“So I have our trunks packed, our ride gets here in three hours, and I cooked you breakfast. So… what do you want first? Me or the breakfast?” and he grinned.

She lifted the shoulder holding her bag, “I just have to toss this in and I’m good. And you, definitely you.” She kissed him again, whispering in his ear. “Get moving, we have a dress code to fix,” and she winked at him.

“Honey, the dress code ain’t broke. We just gotta get in it.” and he grabbed her bag and they hustled through the station to the private lift, nodding to Security… one of whom Mike fist bumped as they passed… and up to their apartment. Mike stopped at the door and looked at Revna. “I want you to know that I love you. More than anything. If I had to choose between you and music… I would always choose you. I just needed to tell you that before we walk inside and we are doing things that keep us from talking.”

She gave him a questioning look, what was he up to? She squeezed his hand, “I know you would, Mike. I’ve never wondered.” She kissed him, “Let’s stop talking then.”

The doors opened and Mike ushered her inside. The apartment was filled with flowers. Everywhere were roses, tulips… and red campions. He looked at her and said “Two and a half hours. I wanted to make the most of it.”

She walked in, taking a deep breath, relieved to be home and the aroma hit her and she blinked, walking further into the apartment. Every surface was covered in flowers, real flowers, not something out of the replicator. In every concievable color they came in. Her eyes landed immediately on the red campions and she walked right over to them and cupped the small blooms in her hands, leaning over to inhale the scent and then she turned to look at him. “Mike this is…flamboyant…” She walked towards him, letting the long vest slip off her shoulders to the floor, and stepping out of her shoes. “Two and half hours is not going to be long enough to show you how much I love this.” She started kissing him, pulling his shirt loose and walking backwards towards the bed room, her lips never leaving his.

Shedding clothes as they went, they managed to follow their agreed upon dress code before they hit the hallway. Mike reached under her and lifted her up so her legs wrapped around his waist and she was resting on him. He pulled back from kissing her just long enough to say “I want to make you scream that you love me, wife.” he said flatly but also somehow meaningfully. As they came into the bedroom, the bed was covered in the petals from the campions; and as they fell onto it they flew up in the air and rained back down on them.

Revna settled against him, content and at peace, in that moment, despite everything else swirling around them like wolves. He wanted to talk, she wanted to keep kissing him. She smiled as she kissed along his jaw, his neck and back to his mouth. She leaned back and stared at him, her eyes going hot at the idea. She leaned in, a sultry whisper teasing his ear, “Better not explode my lungs this time, then, but just in case…” She tipped her head back, away from his ear and shouted to the heavens, “I Love You Michael McKenzie!” She fell onto the bed with him and her eyes slid away from his watching the petals rise and then fall around them. Mike made everything magical. A soft breath left her as copper gaze met green, “First fairies and now floating flower petals. What did I do to deserve a man like you?” She didn’t wait for his response but instead let her actions show him how much she’d missed him and exactly what he meant to her. Some time later their non-existent neighbors would know that Mrs Revna McKenzie loved her husband very, very much.

As they dressed after their ‘reunion, the comms chirped. Mike looked at Revna and said “Sooo… our ride is here. I… um…” and he looked a bit guilty. “Well… you’ll see.”
