Chapter 21
The next morning Trance was already dressed and drinking a glass of juice when Harper woke up. At first he was a bit panicked when he realized he wasn't in his own quarters but he realized quickly where he was and he relaxed again. She smiled at him,"Good morning sleepy head, it's almost time for our shift in command. You ready?"
She walked over and handed him a glass of juice.
He sat up, taking the glass, "Thank you, I sure can use it, I feel drained."
She smiled knowingly, "Well, we did create some fireworks last night. Andromeda said light flooded the corridor and a power surge registered."
Harper looked panicked, "They didn't peek in on us did they?"
Trance smiled, "No, they respected our privacy and I contacted Andromeda to let them know we were OK after you fell asleep."
He looked worried, "They're going to be asking questions."
Trance nodded, "Most likely."
Harper put his arm around her and rested his head on her shoulder, "I'm just gonna tell them it's our secret what happened last night, because it is. It was the most amazing night of my life and you're the only one I want to share that memory with, ever."
She smiled and rested her head against his, "It was really special for me too. I love you Seamus."
He held her tight, "I love you too. And I'll do anything for you, anything to bring you joy and happiness. You know that don't you?"
She hugged him back, "I feel the same for you."
They just sat there holding each other a few moments more, then Harper took a deep breath. "I'd rather stay here and spend the whole day just the two of us but … we'd better go."
She giggled, "You'd better get dressed first!"
They both laughed, "Yeah, Dylan would probably freak if I walked onto Command in nothing but a sheet." At that picture they both dissolved into hysterics.
