There was no warning, no heads up, no sign at all as to his attendance… but at exactly 1858 hours the chime to Bailey’s quarters rang. Outside the door, in a beat-up old brown leather bomber jacket, grey USMC t-shirt, blue jeans, combat boots and a OU ball cap stood the Dresden’s Commanding Officer… Colonel Calvin Harris.

A smile broke across his face as the door open and Harris asked. “Think an old fighter jock could join the party?”

Harris

Charlie was a little blind sided, she had never expected the Captain to accept her invitation but then she figured that perhaps that was a failing on her part for not knowing the Captain as well as she should. With a warm smile she enthusiastically nodded and welcomed him in. “Of course Captain, it would be my pleasure, can I get you something to drink sir?” she asked, a little unsure as to how much military decorum was followed at these types of gatherings. She hoped someone else would arrive soon that she could take a cue from.

Domingo and Katie arrived shortly after the CO, their hands linked together. He stopped just shy of the door, his nerves making him hesitate. Looking at Katie beside him, Domingo smiled weakly.

“Are you ready?” he asked, as much for himself as for her.

Ensign Chavez, Sec

Katie smiled softly at him, loosening her hand from his grasp to wrap her arm around his waist and squeeze him comfortably to her. “You’ve got this,” she commented, answering his true question instead of the one that he had asked, nudging him forward as the door opened in front of him. Only many years of counseling training kept her from reacting to the sight of the CO in front of her and her arm dropped quickly from Chavez’s waist as she blushed lightly. Biting her lip, she forced herself to return her arm to its position and led the way into Bailey’s quarters, focusing her attention on the friendly ensign.

“Thank you for the invite, Charlie,” she greeted her.

Lt Cmdr Nunn, CNS

Charlie noticed the slightly awkward body posturing between the two officers and gave a brief grin at Nunn’s reaction to seeing the Captain. “It’s my pleasure counselor and it’s nice to see you up and about Ensign…” she remarked to Chavez. The last time she had seen him had been in sickbay just before her own unfortunate stay there. “Please, do come in…” she added as she ushered them into the room.

Domingo had an awkward smile on his face, his initial instinct to turn right around and leave as Katie’s embrace left his so quickly. He wasn’t able act on it before her arm returned to him, which settled his jitters and sealed his escape path. He lifted a hand in greeting as his awkward smile softened into more of a grin.

“Hi everyone. Thank you for the open invite.” He said to the room.

Ensign Chavez, Sec

Charlie smiled warmly at the handsome young man, she could see why Katie liked him. “You’re very welcome Ensign,” she added as they walked past her to greet the Captain. Charlie’s thoughts briefly went back to the last time that the counselor had been in her quarters and she gently took Katie by the arm and whispered to her. “Don’t worry, I promise I won’t break any mirrors or bones this time and I’ll try not to end up asleep on your lap…” she giggled and gave her a quick wink. “So, drinks?” she said louder for everyone to hear.
