The night was progressing slowly. Flynn was having trouble keeping his eyes open, but he didn't want to sleep with Raydor right beside him. He snored and he didn't want her to know that.
The Captain was still wide awake.
"Kids." She said suddenly.
"Captain?"
"It's how I can stay awake for long periods of time. My kids were terrible sleepers."
"Oh, of course." For some reason Flynn hadn't imagined her as a mother.
Kids. She had more than one.
"That and black coffee." She giggled.
Kids and giggling.
Tonight, Flynn was learning all sorts of things about his Captain.
"And you, Lieutenant?" Sharon asked.
Andy found it unsettling how her voice dropped an octave when she spoke to him alone. He ignored the taunting of his fluttering heart.
"Excuse me, Captain?" He said annoyed and pretended not to know what she was asking him. He felt her demeanor shift back to cold and closed off.
She shook her head and looked out the window. "Nothing. Never mind."
Flynn felt like a jerk for treating her like that, but his fear took over. He wasn't sure how long he could hide the unprofessional feelings he was having for his Captain.
