"I know the feeling," replied Chris, "you spend so much time in the bridge of your ship and these stations seem like a welcomed reprieve but before long, you miss being planet side somewhere."
Chris thought a moment of his Canaria condo that he hadn't seen in quite some time. He smiled at the thought and the natural beauty of Gran Canaria. He folded his hands before him and leaned on them a bit.
"Amanda, have you been to Gran Canaria? Perhaps in the near future we can visit. I think you will like it there."
As they spoke, the food arrived. As Chris prepared to eat, he placed his napkin on his lap and inspected his fish with a fork. It was flaked just right. He then took a bite, closing his eyes a moment to savor the flavor. He then smiled as he swallowed,
"I do hope yours came out as good as mine."
