That concerned him, but figured she was busy with either shore leave or shipboard duties. He sent her a short message asking how she was doing and if they could meet for dinner soon, but no reply yet. Perhaps she was too embarrassed from his karaoke stint? Nah…Abbie didn’t seem the type to embarrass easily. Scott briefly considered reviewing her duty log or inquire about her whereabouts, but somehow that would seem an intrusion on her privacy. He liked Abbie and hoped they would explore a relationship. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>“Computer…alarm for tomorrow at 0730.” <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>(Reply Jordaan, IFW, none)<br>(Posted by Steve)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
