"I hope the food is still warm" cade said coming out of the bathroom. He
had replicated some dry clothing and had hung up his wet clothes to dry. He
still felt really cold and was wondering if jumping in the pool was a
mistake.

Adala stood in the doorway of her sleeping chamber and watched Cade, before
tossing him a blanket off her bed. “Wrap up in this, you’re not allowed to
catch a cold while on vacation.”

"You're not mad about the pool thing are you?"

“Not mad at all. The pool did look inviting.” She pulled another blanket
out of the closet and wrapped it around herself. “Let’s eat.” she said as
she motioned to the balcony. “Stay away from the railing. I don’t want you
to get any ideas of tossing us in the pool again.”

"Im done being adventurous for the day." He said as he took his dinner and
took a bite. "This has good heat "

She sat down across from him and took a bite of her own dinner. “It will
help warm us up.”

"How'd you become a daredevil anyways?"

“Growing up onboard ships I had to find ways to keep myself occupied. Plus
the search and rescue work I did, the places I have had to get people out
of.”

She paused and took a bite before continuing.

“I guess it just adds that spark to life and the adrenaline rush.”

"I guess. Might be why I went into tactical. Dad was a marine. Grew up
around it. I wanted to be a soldier. But I also wanted to explore. So here
I am on a Starship rather than on a planet in barracks somewhere."

Adala took a sip of the wine before responding. “So you do have  a little
of that ‘adventure bug’ don’t you?” her eyes twinkled slightly

"So, any evil exes I should be aware of?"

She shook her head. “Nobody has wanted to take on this daredevil.”

"I find that hard to believe. "

Adala laughed.

"Actually I take that back. My guess is no one knew where to find you
because you kept yourself locked away."

“Nobody knew what to make of me, I kept to myself out of fear I suppose. It
was easier to talk to the rocks than to people.”

She let out a sigh and grew silent.

"Everything ok? I hope I didn't touch a nerve, or hit a vein?" He said
making a  a geology joke.

Adala leaned over the table and kissed him. “You didn’t.” she smiled
slightly as she pulled away.

"Something feels wrong. Why are you pulling away? Should I go?"

Adala stood up and moved to his side of the table to look down into his
eyes.

“I don’t want you going anywhere. You have made my life complete.”

"Well then. I guess I rescued the princess from the tower she was locked
in."

“I think you have.” she said as she sat down again.

"So. What next?"

“Well I can’t send you home cold can I?” a sly smile crossed her features.
“I do have an extra long couch.”

"Well then. When in paradise."
