It was the first day that Sharah was gone. The green house was built and only the statuw of Hope was left to be assembled. TK had arrived home roughly 20 minutes earlier when their was a knock on the door. Yavia looked at the back door, perplexed, from where she was cutting vegetables at the counter. She set the knife down and wiped her hands on a kitchen towel before making her way over to open the door.“Py’thik?”
The Cardassian driver grinned at her and handed her a hand written note. “Ms Crockett. I was instructed to leave this vehicle for you and the General and deliver this letter. Have a good evening.” He gave her the letter and then turned walking toward a slider waiting at the top of the drive. Left behind was a ground car…well not a car, a truck.
She closed the door looking at the letter. It was from Sharah. “TK! Sharah is up to something!” She called out heading in his direction.

TK walked up the stairs separating the living areas from the sleeping areas. He had changed out of his uniform and was in jeans and a faded reddish t-shirt with big, white, interlocked ‘O’ and ‘U’ on the front. “What’s up? She didn’t get a pet, did she? I don’t wanna dog or cat or… whatever-the-hell she found.” he said with a grin.

Yavia chuckled, “Well I don’t think it’s a pet, but we both know she’s gonna come home with something, eventually. No, Py’thik just dropped off a pick-up and this letter.” She waved the envelope and opened it, unfolding the hand written letter with a flourish. She began to read out loud.
Hello Luvs,
You do so much for me, and I’m afraid that sometimes I don’t tell you both how very much I love you, and how important you are to me. I don’t know how or why it happened, but I am thankful every day.
Since I’m gone, I want you to enjoy being your own brilliant, magnificent couple. All on your own to just be V and TK. So, I have arranged a date night for you. Very casual and easy. You have to be there by 1900. Dinner is provided. Directions have already been programmed into the vehicle. Enjoy each other.
Love,
Sharah
P.S. Charles, this is my treat, and I mean it, so it’s already been paid for. They won’t take your credits, not even for a tip.
Yavia looked up and grinned. “I guess we’re going out tonight.”
