If Sarah's skin tone was lighter, everyone present would have seen her blushing but, they couldn't. When he was speaking, her open hand was over her chest. She was speechless when he declared his love, a tear rolling down each cheek through the smile she was wearing. She would spend the evening close to him. She felt....giddy....as this was still so new to her. She would ask herself what she did to deserve such good luck. After the festivities had ended, she felt.....different....in a good way when she lay with him that night. It was a feeling that she never wanted to go away.

The next morning, she was in a robe when she woke up stretching and yawning to receive her cup of coffee. Normally, she needed that first cup to so much as speak but, she smiled at Oreste. "You caught me off guard last night with that declaration.. I just thought that you should know." She took a sip and again smiled, "Thank you."
She read the message and shook her head a bit. "Liason for the planet. Honestly, I don't know the planet that well as I've only been on it a time or two at Port Jackson." She then gave a look of concern, "I'll need a full briefing on the Planet. I really don't have the knowledge that others have but...we need to get a hold of Doc before the Bretonians do."
Together, they would enjoy some coffee as she was a slow riser and a good breakfast which she made before she would get ready for her day, a day in which she would prepare for the trip.
