ON:

After the events of the past few days had wound done some, there were still lose ends to tie up like why the ship had been boarded and a few other things. Cyndi had learned that Major Hurd was in a medical induced coma in sick bay. Cyndi walked into her quarters.

Paul had changed into a pair of black slacks with a white shirt. “Cyndi I’m going to take you out to supper on the outpost and we’ll do some shopping. You need a break and I want to spend time with you, the ship is fine and you can be reached if anything comes up. So go change.”

Cyndi gave him a quick kiss and headed for the bedroom. Walking in she grinned, Paul had laid out a dress for her to put on. After changing, Cyndi took a seat, brushed her hair and chose to leave it free of her usual ponytail, picking up her phaser she strapped it on and walked into the living room, the dress was a pale peach that fell just above her knees. Spinning around “So do I pass inspection?”

“You always look good Cyndi,” Paul said offering his arm “Shall we?”

Taking his arm they walked from their quarters and headed for the transporter room, walking in “Beam us over to the outpost,” Cyndi said as they stepped onto the PADS. In seconds they were on the outpost.

Paul checked the restaurants, “I have reservations for us, it’s a nice quiet one.” Taking her hand they headed for the restaurant. The host looked up and smiled when they approached “We have reservations, it’s under the name of Sanderson.”

The host checked the reservations and nodded “I nice table for two, if you’ll follow me,” He led them to the table and held the chair for Cyndi as she took a seat, handing them the menu’s “Enjoy your dinner,” he said with a smile as he walked away.

Cyndi picked up the menu “Everything looks so good,”

The waitress walked up a few minutes later “I’m Lucy I’ll be taking care of you, are you ready to order?” she asked

“I’d like the Lasagna, order of breadsticks and a glass of Red Lambrusco Wine,” Cyndi said closing the menu.”

“And for you sir?” Lucy asked turning to Paul

“The eight ounce steak cooked medium rare, and the same wine as my wife, backed potato with sour cream and A1 Steak Sauce,” Paul replied handing her the menu’s

Later dinner was over and they were wandering the outpost looking in the shops and doing some shopping, stopping in one shop Paul picked up a few things to send back to Klavor to their son. After giving the shop keeper the location of the planet they headed on their way.

“Brent’s going to love that,” Cyndi commented

“I want to get you something too, and I have a nice surprise for us when we get back to the ship.” Paul said leading her into a jewelry shop. Once in the jewelry shop Paul walked over to the owner “I’m Paul Sanderson I placed an order earlier today, is it ready?”

“It is sir,” the man said opening a case and handing him a small black velvet box,”

Taking the box Paul looked at Cyndi, “I’ll give this to you back on the ship,” Paul handed the shop keeper some credits and thanked him, slipping the box into his pocked he thanked the shop keeper and headed out.

“Paul you didn’t have to give me anything,” Cyndi said as they headed for the transporter

“I know but I wanted to. I could have lost you a while back,” Paul replied

Back on the ship they headed for their quarters, Paul keyed in the access codes and they stepped inside, the room was full of candles, soft music was playing, taking her hand he led her into the bedroom, the bed was turned down and a dozen roses lay on Cyndi’s pillow. Pulling the box from his pocket he opened it to reveal a diamond and sapphire necklace with matching earrings. “This is to how you how much I love you and how glad I am to be your husband.” Pulling her into an embrace he kissed her and helped her out of her dress letting it fall the floor as he pulled her to the bed, it didn’t take him long to rid himself of his clothes and he joined her pulling the blankets over them
