Morad’s expression softened instantly at the sight of her, the lingering gravity of the Bridge washing away completely. Stepping forward to meet her halfway across the compact stateroom, he took her outstretched hand, his thumb gently brushing the back of her knuckles.
I didn't realize how much I missed her touch...
"We are finally alone," he echoed, a warm, genuine smile breaking across his face. He let his gaze linger for a moment, taking in the lavender dress before stepping aside to gesture toward the small dining table. "And trust me, the professional distance was wearing on me just as much. Come in, get comfortable."
He led her toward the small table where the deep, resonant notes of the oud continued to drift softly in the background. Pulling out her chair, Morad made sure she was settled before taking his own seat across from her.
"I hope you're hungry," Ameen said, reaching over to pick up a piece of the freshly warmed flatbread. He tore off a piece and scooped up a generous portion of the spiced muhammara, offering it to her across the table. "I traded a few favors with the replicator techs to get the ingredients right for this. Let's see if it tastes like home."
