Daggum woke up restless. It was early. Faye was sleeping soundly, her leg and arm draped over him and her head on his arm. He looked down at her. The light from the stars outside was the only light in the room, and she looked almost ethereal. He softly stroked her cheek with his finger, reveling in the contrast between their skin and relishing every touch. But the restlessness didn’t subside. And he knew that it was only a matter of time before the restlessness became agitation… and the agitation became something else. Taking a deep breath, he said rolled over and pressed the comms for the front desk. “Yes Commander?” came a soft voice. “Is the holosuite available, and if so, can I upload a personal program to it for one time use only?” “Of course you may sir. And yes, it is free for the next few hours. Would you like me to reserve it for you?” Daggum sighed and said quietly “Yes, please. Two hours should be fine.” There was a few seconds of silence and the voice said “Done, sir. It is ready when you are.” and the comms went silent.

It was strange how quickly Faye had gotten used to having someone next to her. Days. It had only been days they’d been together face-to-face and yet it felt like they had always been this way. How strange, how wonderful. As he extracted himself, some part of her had registered his absence, though her meds tended to make her sleep more deeply than she used to. “Dag?” she said sleepily, pushing herself upright and adjusting the thin strap of nightgown.

“Hey, babe.” he said softly and moved back towards her, pulling her close to him. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you up. I’m just feeling a little tense and I’m going to go use the holosuite for a while. You can sleep, my love. It’s okay. I’ll only be an hour or two.” he kissed her softly and tried to help her get comfortable and back to sleep.
