Christine and Scotty - accidental marriages - oy vey.
Christine was really enjoying this leave. I was the first time they'd had leave on a planet. She had spoken to friends and had wonderful food and drink. Now it was time to relax and soak in the party and energy going on around her. So she sat a perfect distance from a bon fire that was going and slipped off her shoes to feel the ground beneath her feet. Who knew you could miss grass?
On the opposite side of the fire there seemed to be a band setting up. This was the best part of this whole space thing new cultures. So she smiled, sipped her drink, and people watched.
