A/N: this is my first attempt at a challenge fic so go easy…

POV: Commander Cruger; set somewhere after "Katastrophe"
I lean back in my chair and watch her work… I could do this all day. She's always elegant with her movements, her eyes always focused on whatever she's doing.
I sigh as she realizes I'm watching her… has she realized how often I watch her? I just sit here and watch her with whatever she has to do… whether that be working on the computers watching the sensors or dealing with Boom. She always deals with them with sophistication, she always has.
I can remember a time when her eyes held deep sorrow… pain that nothing but time could erase. Uprooted from everything she knew; it was hard for me to see her in that condition, but I look at her now and I see true happiness reflected in her eyes. Kat Manx, one of the many things that fate has taunted me with.
"Is there something wrong, Doggie?"
I snap out of my trance
"No, why?"
"You've been staring at me for the last twenty minutes"
She came over to me
"I… I was?" I tried to act like I didn't realize I was, but at one point I think I had forgotten that time was passing.
"Doggie" she said, she knew me better than that
"You look too nice not to look at"
She blushes and smiles slightly embarrassed.
"You really think so?"
"Yes" it was a simple answer, but it was all that question needed.
"Thank you for the complement" she said, but she wasn't looking at me as I came to stand right in front of her
"Do you want to know when I think you're the most beautiful?" I asked her
"When, Doggie?" she asked looking at me
"When you smile"
She smiled
"Now I know why I love you so much" she smirked "you always know exactly what to say"
I hugged her
"I love you too"
I felt her return the embrace and knew this was the way things were meant to be.
The End
