"Okay, I'm sailing with my CO, alone."

I sit down at the table below and wait a minute for the Admiral to come down.

"Hey."

"Oh, hi."

"I noticed there's only one bed, are we sharing it?"

He just looks at me.

"If you want to."

"Do you want to?"

"If you want me too."

"Would you let me?"

When did this turn into a dabate? I continue, after all, how often do you get to argue over something stupid with your CO.

"Of coarse. I trust you."

"Really?"

"Okay."

So we are sharing the room.

"Sir, can we drop the military for this week?"

"Sure."

"Thanks, AJ."

"Your welcome, Sarah."

He sits down beside me on the small bench, our food in front of us. We eat in comfortable silence. We're still at the dock, so we don't need to do anything yet.

"AJ?"

"Hmm."

"If we weren't going to share the bed, where would you sleep?"

"The table folds down into a bed."

"Oh"

"The bed is more comfortable."

"I figured as much."

"You look tired Sarah. Maybe you should go take a nap."

"Okay, would you come and stay with me until I fall asleep?"

"If you want me to."

"Would you please?"

He laughs. How I love it when I'm the one who gets him to laugh.

"Okay Sarah."

"Yea."

"I'd love to hold you all day and all night."

"Know what?"

"What?"

"I want that too."

We clean up and go to the small bedroom.
