Chapter 25: Two Minds
Two
weeks later
“You almost
done?”
“Mmhmm.”
Sarah Librescu rolled
her eyes at her wife, “You said ‘mmhmm’ ten-minutes
ago.”
Hadara tapped on the PADD again, “I
did?”
“Yep.” She said, rubbing her stomach,
“Come on, I wanna go eat something. I’m wasting away
here.”
“Just a second. I want to make sure they’re
using the prope-“ Began Hadara, before she was cut off.
“No,
now!” Ordered Sarah jokingly, as she walked over.
Hadara
smiled and turned off the PADD, “You’re right, I’m
sorry.” She began, “I just hate the thought of our baby
being so far away, especially now.”
Sarah walked over
and stood behind her, gently massaging her shoulders, “I’m
sure the Engineers at Regulus will take good care of Titan. She’ll
be fine.” She began, “The Captain told us to take a
break, and that includes the Chief-Engineer and her wife.”
“Mmm
he did.” Hadara replied, before she stood up and faced her,
“Wow, you are wasting away!”
Sarah giggled,
“That’s gross neglect on your behalf! I think I’m
going to make a complaint, Commander!”
Hadara grabbed
their sunglasses, “Fine, then I’ll just transfer you off
my engineering team, Lieutenant!”
“I love my
wife.”
“What wife?” Questioned Hadara,
before Sarah swatted her.
They stepped out of their hotel room
and walked down the corridor, where large windows on the left gave
them a view of the city outside.
“I’m kinda glad
we had to stop off here. Gives us a chance to see some of the
Federation.” Commented Hadara.
“Yeah. But it’s
a little too hot for my liking. What’s the temperature today,
fifty-something?”
She shrugged, “I don’t
know. It’s a bit cooler in the city centre of Shi’Kahr,
because of the climate control stuff.”
They stepped
inside of a turbolift and rode down to the ground floor. They walked
out, passing through the lobby, before they exited the hotel,
standing in the street.
“Jeez it’s hot out here!”
Called out Sarah.
Hadara nodded, “Yeah, it is.”
She said, before she reached out and grabbed Sarah’s hand,
“Come on, let’s go find some lunch.”
The two
women set off through the city, looking for somewhere to eat when
something caught Hadara’s eyes.
“Sarah, isn’t
that Kai and T’Luk?”
Sarah looked over at the two
guys across the street holding hands, “I think you’re
right.” She said, “Wanna go say hi?”
“Sure.”
They
crossed the street and walked quickly to catch up to the young
couple.
“Kai! T’Luk!”
The two guys
turned around, immediately noticing them.
“Commander,
Lieutenant.” Nodded Kai, followed by T’Luk.
Hadara
held up a hand, “We’re on vacation, so first name basis
only.” She said with a smile.
Kai nodded, “It’s
good to see you, Hadara, Sarah.”
“Indeed.”
Added T’Luk.
“Likewise guys, I wasn’t aware
of anyone who travelled to Vulcan.” She said.
Kai looked
at them, “If you don’t mind me asking, what brought you
two to Vulcan?” He asked, “I mean, I’m here because
of T’Luk, but do you have family here? Friends?”
“We
initially followed the Titan to Regulus, and then left for Earth, but
there wasn’t a direct flight over. We had to stop off here for
two days.”
“Two days on Vulcan can never be a bad
thing.” Said Kai.
“It’s quite warm, but we
can manage.” Began Sarah, “So you guys getting ready to
head back to Earth? Nine days until the party!”
T’Luk
nodded, “We are scheduled to leave in two-days. We will spend
the rest of the time in England.”
“Sounds like a
plan.” She said, “We will leave tomorrow, so we will have
time to go to see family and stuff before we head over to San
Francisco.”
“Yeah, after everything that’s
happened recently, we haven’t really had the time to take any
breaks.”
Hadara smiled, “You’re right there.
Anyway, don’t let us keep you, we just thought we’d say
‘hi’.”
“It has been agreeable to see
you.” Said T’Luk, “I hope you enjoy the rest of
your stay.”
“We will.” Replied Sarah, “But
before you wander off, could you point us towards a good restaurant?”
*
“How old are they?”
I asked as I sipped some Gokund juice.
He swallowed,
“Who?”
“Your parents.”
He
raised an eyebrow.
We were back at T’Luk’s house
after we spent the morning and early afternoon wandering through the
city, looking at the various shops. While you could always replicate
an item for free using the replicators, there were some things that
one might prefer to have that could be considered ‘genuine’.
I wasn’t that big on shopping, and neither was T’Luk, but
I did come away with a few things. They were all hand-made gifts,
like a little model of Mount Seleya I had gotten for my dad. The rock
it was constructed from was actually from an adjacent mountain. He
liked things like that, so I’m sure he’d enjoy the gift.
As for my mum, I found a beautiful necklace made from a type of gem
found near the fire plains. So all in all, it was quite a successful
trip.
Of course one of the added bonuses was when we bumped
into Hadara and Sarah Librescu, the Chief-Engineer and
Deputy-Chief-Engineer, respectively, of the Titan. I had
always admired them. Not only because of their brilliant talents, but
because of who they were as people, as a couple. Sure the Captain and
Counsellor were a couple to look up to, but they were much older than
we were, while Hadara and Sarah, on the other hand, were in their
mid-to-late-twenties. But by just looking at the two women when we
met them in Shi’Kahr, I couldn’t help but wonder if
that’s where T’Luk and I could be in several years. It
was quite a warming thought.
After we’d spoken to them
for a short while, and pointed them in the direction of the
restaurant located near to the city square, we headed back to T’Luk’s
house where we could hang out together during the warmer hours of the
day.
“I only ask because they look as old as my
parents.” I said, “But as we know, you Vulcans sure do
age gracefully.”
He thought for a moment, “My
mother experienced her eighty-second birthday two months ago, and my
father is currently eighty-three.”
“What about
Lunak? How old is she?”
“She is 137-years-old.”
I
shook my head slightly.
“What?”
“It’s
ridiculous, how old you guys get but still look really young.”
I replied.
“I can see how that may…amuse you, but
to me it is simple fact.”
I thought for a moment, “Do
you have any great-grandparents?” I asked.
“Yes,
however they do not live on Vulcan. They currently live on Bajor.
They moved after the Dominion war.”
I nodded and thought
for about the wars for a moment. I was fourteen-years-old when the
war first began. I remember coming home from school and watching the
news broadcast on the viewer in the living room. In truth, the idea
of war against the Dominion had been spoken about for many years, so
the fact that war had arrived wasn’t as shocking as one may
expect. Also, having been at such a young age when those ideas were
first mentioned, I had somewhat grown accustomed to the idea of war
going on many light-years away.
But when war did break out,
Mum and Dad, both being high ranking Starfleet officers, frequently
came home from work much later than usual, sometimes after I had gone
to sleep. It was during these long days when I’d usually spend
the night over at Mal’s house. Neither of his parents worked
for Starfleet, so they didn’t have the inconvenience of
extra-long work days, or being called out randomly.
“Kai?”
Called out T’Luk.
I looked up at him, “Hmm? Yeah,
babes?”
He looked at me, “What are you thinking
about?”
“The war.”
He nodded, “It
was quite a troubling time.”
I raised my eyebrows, “For
you?”
He shook his head, “Not for me in a personal
sense, but rather for the Federation.”
“Yeah.”
“Kai,
can I ask you a question?”
I nodded, “Sure.”
“Were
your parents in San Francisco when the Breen attacked?”
I
felt my heart quicken slightly at the mention of that. Yes, I
remembered the Breen attack vividly. I was actually over at Mal’s
house when we first found out about the attack. Because of the
severity of the war at that point, any important information that
needed to be given to the public was instantly sent out across the
viewers and consoles inside people’s homes. I was watching some
highlights from a football match when the image changed to a news
broadcast informing us about the Breen attack. I immediately tried to
hail my parents, but it seemed communications were down, at least all
public channels.
We didn’t initially know how bad the
attack was, but only being sixteen and having heard rumours about the
destructive power of the Dominion, I quickly began to assume the
worst. Mal’s parents tried to comfort me, but nothing could
remove the fear and anxiety I was feeling at that moment. It had been
around ten-minutes after the broadcast came on before my mum
materialised in the lounge. I quickly ran over to her, hugging her
tightly. Never in my life had I felt such immediate relief. I pulled
back looking at her, asking about Dad. She smiled. He was in Paris
during the attack, so he was fine. As for my mum, the offices that
she worked in were underground, and away from the affected area, so
she wasn’t hurt.
T’Luk reached across and squeezed
my hand, “I am sorry, Kai. I did not mean to cause you
distress.”
I smiled at him, “I’m fine. It’s
just that it was quite scary at the time.” I said, “But
yes, my mum was in San Francisco, but her offices were a few
kilometres away, and were underground, so she was safe. My Dad was in
France at the time, so he was ok too.”
“Good.”
I
nodded, “What about your family?”
“Only
three people in my family work for Starfleet, however none of those
were directly affected by the war.”
“That’s
good to hear.” I said, “Too many people were hurt, or
worse, during that time.”
“Indeed.”
I
leaned my head to the right and rested against him, “Do you
think that there’ll be another war, during our lifetime?”
“I
do not know.” He replied, “It would be logical to assume
that we will encounter more hostile races as we continue to explore
the galaxy, but as for another war; I am uncertain.”
I
grinned, “Well, with the Klingons, and now Romulans at our
sides, I feel a little safer.”
“You do not feel
safe?” He asked.
“I do, but when I think about the
Borg and stuff, I just feel happier knowing that there’s more
people on our side.” I kissed his covered arm, “But I
always feel safe with you. My little Vulcan.” I replied,
grinning.
He turned to me, “You do appear to…like
that fact.”
“What fact?”
“That
I am Vulcan.”
I snuggled closer to him, “I love
that fact.” I replied, “I wouldn’t trade you for
any other species. You’re perfect.”
“Neither
would I trade you.” He added, kissing me on top of my head.
I
lay there for a second, “How are you so amazing?” I asked
randomly.
“Amazing?”
I nodded.
He
thought for a moment, “I do not understand, Kai.”
“You
know, how you’re just so…I dunno, just really, really…”
I struggled to make sense, “You know what, don’t worry
about it. Just accept the fact that you’re amazing.” I
giggled.
“As are you.”
We sat there for a
while longer, just next to each other before I spoke again.
“Just
remember that I have to see the rest of those photos.”
“What
photos?”
“The ones of T’Luk as a
child.”
T’Luk gave me this look that I interpreted
as ‘yeah, right’.
I giggled, “You were a
really cute kid, why don’t you like them?”
He
looked at me, “When we visit Earth later this week, I will ask
your parents to show me pictures of you.”
I thought for
a moment, “Alright, I see what you mean, but I guess I get
embarrassed from my photos. You can’t get embarrassed.”
“It
is not the embarrassment that I do not like, Kai, it is the fact that
I do not see the benefit or amusement of looking at such
photos.”
“But you’d like to see photos of me
as a kid?”
He opened his mouth to reply, but I guess I
had him there.
I held up a hand, “Don’t worry, I’m
sure you could make a logical argument against it, but I personally
think that it’s just natural for people not to want others to
see photos of them as a child.”
“I can agree with
that.”
I shifted slightly on the sofa, leaning against
him more, “I wonder if Trey managed to get Alex to go to that
lake.”
“I do not believe that Trey would have any
trouble in attempting to see Alex in the nude.”
I
giggled at that.
“Do you not agree?”
“Oh
I agree, but it’s just the way you word stuff. You made Trey
sound like a right mastermind!”
“His cunning has
nothing to do with it. I was referring to Alex’s fondness
towards him.”
I giggled again before I sat up, “That
reminds me, I had been meaning to ask you; Do Vulcans…”
I began, but paused, “It’s kinda personal.”
He
nodded, “You can ask me anything, you know that.”
I
smiled, “Alright. I just wanted to know if Vulcans…erm,
I mean do they…” I looked at him, “You know, do
Vulcans do…things…with themselves?” I asked,
blushing.
“Are you referring to mediation?”
I
looked at him, he HAD to have known what I was talking about, he was
just trying to embarrass me further, “No, you know what I
mean…”
“I do not understand.”
“Jerk
off?” I blurted out, “Do Vulcans jerk off?”
He
thought for a moment.
“You do know what that means,
right?”
He nodded, “Yes.”
I looked at
him, “Well, do you?”
“No.”
I
was shocked by that, “What? Never?”
“No.”
I
gave him a sideways glance, “What about you?”
He
looked at me, “Never.”
I glanced away,
“Oh…wow.”
“You have to understand
Kai, that Vulcans do not have the same…urges as other species.
While we can mate whenever it is necessary, we are only driven to
mate every seven years.”
I looked at him, surprised,
“Wait a minute! I thought Vulcans could only mate every
seven years?”
“That is a common misconception.”
He replied.
“So Vulcans can mate whenever they
want?”
He nodded, “However, as we are not driven
by emotion, or sexual urges, very few Vulcans choose to mate out of
free will.” He said, “Therefore many Vulcans only mate
during the Pon Farr.”
“Oh.” I replied,
trying to grasp everything, “I thought you guys HAD to wait
seven years, like nothing would physically happen otherwise.”
“It
would be illogical to assume that it should only occur every seven
years.” He said, “As an example, imagine that we were
both Vulcan. Now if I were to experience the Pon Farr, the normal way
to deal with it would be to mate. As you are my partner, we would
mate, regardless of if you were also experiencing the Pon Farr.”
He said.
I nodded, “Oh, that does make
sense.”
“Indeed.”
“So that’s
why you guys don’t…do stuff?” I asked, “Because
you have no ‘urges’?”
“Yes.”
“Ok.”
I said, thinking for a moment, “What about…erm, well
sometimes during puberty, we…erm make a mess down there. Does
that happen to Vulcans?”
“I know what you are
referring to and no, we do not experience that.”
I
raised my eyebrows, “So much for a sex life.” I said,
pausing, “But wait, wouldn’t that mean that the first
time you ever…you know…it was with me?”
He
nodded, “Yes. I had never felt that
before.”
“Ever?”
“No.”
Now
that completely blew my mind. While both T’Luk and I had been
virgins when we first started to date, I had no idea that he’d
never even orgasmed before! Wow, that must have made him some kinds
super-virgin or something. Not that there’s anything wrong with
saving your virginity, I mean, I always wanted to save mine for the
right person, but never having an orgasm is something different. It’s
like going through your life not sneezing!
“I…I
never knew.” I said, looking at him as I suddenly felt a
feeling of pride, knowing that he’d shared something very
important with me. Something that he’d never even experienced
with himself before.
“It is not of any concern.”
He said, “But it is appropriate that you know.”
I
nodded and watched him looking at me closely, causing me to blush,
“What?”
“Nothing.” He said, but I knew
what he was thinking.
“Unless you’ve grown up as a
teenage Human male, you have no idea what it’s like!” I
said, grinning at him, “Imagine the Pon Farr on a smaller
scale, but it happens like really often.”
“You
seem…controlled now.”
I giggled, “Yeah,
controlled.” I said, rubbing his arm, “Well, I have you
to keep me in check.”
He nodded.
I looked at him,
“What about you, T’Luk? What do you feel?”
He
thought for a moment, “As you know, I have a very strong
emotional attachment to you.” He began, “And because of
my ‘condition’, I frequently feel things that
Vulcans wouldn’t normally feel.”
“Good
things I hope?”
He looked into my eyes, “Very good
things.”
I felt his hand slip to my thigh, causing the
room to suddenly seem warmer. We usually came onto each other, but
with T’Luk making the ‘pre-emptive move’ I was a
little taken aback. He started to slowly rub his hand up and
down.
“Kai?”
I swallowed, “Yeah.”
“What
do you feel?”
I sat there for a second, before I leaned
over and whispered in his ear. I don’t know why I whispered, as
we had the house to ourselves, but it just felt like the right thing
to do. I pulled back and blushed at what I had said.
T’Luk
stood up and extended his hand, “Come on.”
I stood
up and gripped his hand, walking next to him as he led us up to his
room, locking the door behind us.
*
Three
hours later we found ourselves sitting around the dining table eating
dinner. T’Luk and I prepared and served the meal to quite a
thankful Volak and T’Kal. But what really intrigued them was
the fact that the food wasn’t of Vulcan origin, but rather of
Human origin, Indian to be precise. While I had never cooked a great
deal of Indian food before, my dad often used to show me things that
he’d learned from his dad. But during my time on Vulcan, I saw
it appropriate to immerse myself in my quarter Indian make up and
make T’Luk and his family an appropriate meal.
While
some Indian dishes had been made to eat with meat, my grandfather was
a vegetarian, so none of the dishes he made contained any meat. So in
a similar fashion, I used some of his recipes -provided by a quick
hail to my grandfather- in the evening meal for his parents. I had
made quite a multitude of different things from them to try, from a
simple chapati
to something more advanced like saag
paneer.
I remember when I had first tried paneer
when I was younger, I could have sworn that it was chicken. In fact,
my dad told me that it was chicken at first, and waited until I had
eaten it, before he revealed its true nature: cheese. Of course I
broke that little piece of news to T’Luk carefully, as I didn’t
want him to think I was giving him a vegetarian substitute for
chicken, but rather that something so different could look, taste,
and feel similar to something else.
“Quite an
interesting culture.” Remarked Volak, “Very different to
that of North America.”
I nodded, “Yes, it’s
quite hard to believe that they were both from the same
planet.”
T’Kal looked over, “And quite an
interesting selection of food. Thank you for sharing that with
us.”
I smiled, “You’re most welcome.”
I said, standing, “But we still have dessert. So I hope you
left some space.” T’Luk tried to stand up and help me
clear the table, but I quickly got him to sit.
“I am
curious to see what an Indian dessert is like.” Remarked
Volak.
‘Curiosity:
one of the pinnacles of a Vulcan.’
I thought to myself, as I cleared up the plates. After I had recycled
the plates and cleaned my hands, I removed the four small tubs from
the fridge, along with four spoons. I walked back into the dining
room and handed out the dessert.
T’Luk lifted the lid of
his and inspected the white, yoghurt-like substance, “What is
it, Kai?”
“It’s known as Shrikhand,
it tastes like a sweet yoghurt.” I replied, and in truth,
that’s exactly what it was: a sweet yoghurt.
The three
of them dipped their spoons into the yoghurt, scooped some of it up,
before they tasted it. I watched intently, and was pleased to see
that they all seemed to be enjoying it.
“It is very
sweet, Kai. But not in a…sickly way.” Said T’Luk,
using phrases that I’d use when tasting Vulcan food.
Volak
nodded, “Indeed, it is most delicious. A fitting compliment to
a good meal.” He praised.
I almost blushed at that,
“Thanks, I’m glad you like it.” I said, looking
over to T’Kal as she swallowed a second spoonful.
“Yes,
very nice indeed. I would appreciate you showing me how to make this
dish sometime.”
I smiled, “Sure. I’ll show
you sometime before we leave.”
She nodded at that and
continued to eat her dessert.
Once we finished with the meal I
quickly cleared the table and kitchen area, before I went over and
joined them in the lounge. We spent the rest of the evening talking
about various things, about things that had happened in their lives,
both before and after T’Luk’s birth. Some things they
talked about were inherently funny, causing me to burst out in fits
of giggles, they didn’t seem to mind the slightest, and even I
had grown accustomed to being the only one filling the room with
laughter.
But the thing that really stuck with me was how
T’Luk’s parents were towards me. It wasn’t like
some corny romantic novel, where I’d spend the days trying to
seek out their acceptance as T’Luk’s partner. In fact,
from the very first moment I met them, they were immediately friendly
towards me, as though they had accepted me long ago. Of course they
wanted to know me better, so they asked me a few things, but I was
never subjected to an ‘interrogation’, no ‘what are
your intentions with my son’ speech, although that in itself is
quite archaic. No, they treated me with nothing but respect,
something that I proudly returned to both of them. I know it sounds
like a cliché, but I really did look up to his parents. They
raised an incredible person, with a flawless mind and a big heart.
They raised T’Luk.
Later that evening, as we climbed
into bed, T’Luk brought up quite an important topic.
He
looked at me, “Kai?”
I turned to him, “Yes.”
“I
spoke to my parents about you wanting me to perform a mind meld.”
I
shifted on the sheet, facing him, “Yeah?”
He
nodded, “They gave me the necessary instructions.” He
said, “There should be no problem because of us being a
different species.”
I thought for a moment, “So
you can do it?”
“I believe so.”
I
looked at him, “When can we try?”
“Whenever
you are ready.”
“What about now?” I
asked.
“Are you sure?”
I nodded,
“Yes.”
After a few minutes of getting ready, I
found myself sitting cross-legged opposite T’Luk. He’d
dimmed the lighting in his room, and had lit a few candles to calm
the mood.
I looked at him, “So how will this be
different from the bond?” I asked.
“The bond is a
place where we can go to interact, like a connection with each
other.” He began, “A mind meld is different because we
are in the same place. We will be in each others’ mind, we will
be together, as one.”
I nodded. His explanation made
some sense, but partly caused more confusion. So I put that out of my
mind and simply decided to let him proceed, so I can experience what
it was really like.
“Are you ready, Kai?”
I
nodded.
T’Luk reached out, his fingers touching onto my
face. He kept his eyes on mine and seemed to be in deep thought, “My
mind to your mind, my thoughts to your thoughts. Our minds are
merging, our minds are one.”
In that second I felt a
sensation similar to that of the bond, but more pronounced, like I
could feel the energy coming off his finger tips. But as quickly as
that began, it faded away. I couldn’t feel his ‘energy’
in his fingers anymore, almost as though the meld had failed, but
then he spoke to me.
“Kai?”
He responded telepathically.
“T’Luk?”
I thought.
“Is
this ok?” He
asked, as though he heard me.
“It’s
working?”
“Yes,
this is the mind meld.”
“Wow.”
I thought, but just as I thought that, the environment changed, and I
found myself standing in an odd place. I looked about, trying to
recognise where I was when I realised that I was in a museum.
“This
is the Vulcan Museum of Astronomy, Kai.”
I turned around
and saw T’Luk standing there. “So we’re inside your
mind, right now?”
“We’re in each others’
mind. I’m just sharing this image, this memory with you.”
As
he said that, other people appeared in the museum, visitors, staff.
They seemed oblivious to the fact that we were there. It was almost
as though we were in a holodeck, but I just knew that we
weren’t.
T’Luk walked over, holding onto my
shoulders and turning me around, pointing me down the corridor.
I
looked down the corridor before my eyes rested on a boy. He was
around fourteen-years-old, a Vulcan. I recognised the man standing
near to him, Volak. I walked forwards towards the boy, looking at him
curiously.
“That’s me, Kai.”
I
nodded. I could tell. Even at that younger age, he still had the
distinctive features that I’d come to recognise in
T’Luk.
“This was the visit to the museum that
ultimately made me interested in space.” Said T’Luk.
I
turned and faced him, “Really?”
He nodded.
I
looked forward again, seconds before the environment changed, this
time showing me Starfleet Academy. I looked about and noticed the
podium, the day of graduation. I looked closer at the podium and
watched as T’Luk had a gold pin attached to his collar by the
Starfleet Admiral. This must have been his memory of when he became
an officer. I looked about, I couldn’t believe how many details
he could recall while in this state. It was incredible.
Before
I could say anything, we changed place again, but now I came face to
face with myself. I could feel the wind blowing lightly, along with
the sky being darker. I looked about, realising that we were in
London. This was the memory that T’Luk had of our first date in
the holodeck. I glanced down to our hands, sure enough, we had the
ice cream cones that we had. My T’Luk came up and grabbed my
hand, as we followed the other two, as we strolled alongside the
Thames.
It was so weird to watch what happened between us like
this. I was both excited and nervous by the whole thing. Excited
because I ultimately knew what happened after we left the holodeck,
but nervous because I remembered how I felt back then. That I felt
slightly nervous from asking T’Luk to make love to me.
“There
was no need to be nervous.” Said my T’Luk.
I
looked at him, “Perhaps not, but I had no idea how you were
going to react.”
We walked over to the wall and perched
against it, as our mind meld ‘duplicates’ continued on
their stroll. “I love you Kai, more than anything.” He
said, “Nothing could describe how I felt when you asked me. It
was…amazing.”
I smiled at him, “It was
amazing for me too.”
I saw a flash. I looked to my right
and noticed that our ‘duplicates’ had just had their
photo taken. Exactly how I remembered it happening. I watched them as
they stared at each other for a second, before they leaned in closer.
The environment changed before their lips touched, sending us back
into T’Luk’s bedroom. He kept his hand on my face for a
few seconds, before he removed it.
I sat there for a second,
looking at him.
“Are you ok, Kai?”
I
nodded, before a smile spread across my lips, “It was…just…”
I flashed him a toothy grin, “Good, really, really good.”
“I
was not sure what to show you.”
I leaned over and kissed
him, “What you showed me was perfect.” I said, looking at
him, “It was very special. Thank you for sharing that with
me.”
He nodded, “You are most welcome, Kai.”
We
sat there for a while longer, just looking at each other, before we
stood up, blew out the candles and slid into bed. T’Luk shut
off the lights and then climbed in behind me. I swivelled around and
kissed him.
“Good night, T’Luk.”
“Good
night, Kai. I love you.”
“I love you too.”
