Posted by Lieutenant Alita Claire (Chief Security Officer) in Alita’s Quarters
Since leaving Remy’s quarters earlier that day, Alita had made certain to be in motion because if she stopped to think for too long, she would start overthinking the night before, which was something she didn’t want to do. She had definitely gone to Remy’s bed of her own free will and would definitely do so again but, sometimes, other thoughts intruded.

Diaz cast an accusing glance as Alita had entered the office that morning. The ship was too damned small. The rest of the day had gone by in a blur. Now it was late evening and Alita lay stretched on her couch exhausted from work and a session on the holodeck. Shifting, she realized she had pulled a hamstring and would probably have to take it easy for a few days. Glancing around, she also realized the cart with all those delectable left overs was in Remy’s quarters. The thought of having the replicator do anything for her at this point was terribly disheartening.

At that moment, the chime at Alita’s door rang.

When the door slid open, Remy was standing there. The cart she had delivered to him last night was by his side, the dishes steaming and looking just as delicious as they had the night before.

He smiled at her and said, ” I am ‘opine you don’ mind leftovers, but we ‘ardly touched this meal last night. Dere was sometine much more desirable dat consumed my ‘unger. . . may I come in, cher?”
