{Deck 5 - McTavish Quarters}

When James walked into their quarters Heather ran up, threw her arms around James' neck and planted a very serious kiss on his lips. Smiling Heather commented "James thank you so much for the beautiful flowers, it was so sweet of you."

James was completely confused as he noticed this rather large bouquet of flowers sitting on the living area table.

He looked at Heather and grinned "Well as much I would take credit for the flowers....it wasn't me who sent you those flowers" he replied "Maybe you have a secret admirer."

Now Heather was really confused and lost for words, which didn't happen often "So.....you didn't send me those flowers then" she queried "Are you sure?"

James became quite serious "Of course I'm sure.....besides when was the last time I lied to you sweetheart" he asked.

Heather thought for a moment before answering "Ah....that would be never" she replied with a smile "Then who sent them then."

"Did a card come with them" James asked.

"No.....just the flowers" Heather replied "But this is a little concerning thinking that some guy has the hots for me enough to send me flowers."

"Let me say this....if I find out who it is, we WILL be having a very serious conversation....I can tell you that" he replied meaning every word of it.

"Thank you for that" she replied then continued "So should I throw them out since you didn't send them."

"That's up to you but if you want to enjoy them for a few days, I'm ok with it" he answered "I just thought of something maybe a lady sent you the flowers and not a guy."

Heather looked at James as she made a face "James...now that's a disgusting thought" she replied as James just had to chuckle at her reaction.

{Deck 2 - O'Connell Quarters}

Commander O'Connell walked up to their quarters when he noticed a large bouquet of flowers sitting in a vase in front of the door. Jamie picked it up and went inside wondering if Heather had ordered the flowers for herself.....which was out of character for her.

Shortly Heather came home and walked into their quarters noticing the flowers on the table "Jamie you shouldn't have" she commented with a smile.

Jamie walked over and gave her a kiss then grinned "I didn't....I thought you ordered them for yourself, although I had no idea why" he replied.

Heather just looked at Jamie "I certainly didn't order them....and if you didn't then we may have a problem" she stated "I'd hate to think that some other guy sent them" being a little concerned.

"I wouldn't worry too much at this point unless it happens again, then I'll address the issue with the Commodore" he commented.

"Thank you Jamie" she replied then gave him a kiss "You do know that I would never, ever cheat on you with someone else."

He just smiled "Heather that never even entered my mind....you are as committed to me as I am to you" Jamie stated knowing that would probably never happen.

Heather walked over and grabbed the flowers vase and all "I'm going to take these and run them through the reclaimer....I don't want them in our quarters" she explained.

"Whatever makes you happy" he commented being very glad that Heather had decided to get rid of them.

OOC: So who sent the flowers, we may never know.
