After the wedding
Bailey and Naomi were happy to get away on their honeymoon in the holodeck. The rest of the crew was still partying at the reception in the mess hall. "I love you, Mrs. Paris."
"I love you, Mr. Paris." They kissed. Then they looked out onto the lake, which lay in front of their cabin in the mountains of Colorado. Bailey had programmed this simulation himself, from the description of his father's family cabin. The newly weds were standing on the deck, watching the sun disappear behind the mountains. Naomi started to cry.
"Darling, what's the matter?" Bailey asked, looking into his wife's eyes that were red with tears.
"Do you remember. of course you remember, you couldn't see. And I described the sunset to you, and it was so beautiful. You couldn't see it. Now you get to see a simulated sunset, and it is no where near as beautiful as that one. That one that is lost forever." She embraced him.
"I told you then, and I'll tell you now, I would have been looking at you. As I am now," he smiled at her and led her inside.
