Admiral Tan returned to his quarters after the horrors of the day.
He looked around. He could hear water running. He had not asked any of the staff to draw him a bath. He looked at the control panel and was surprised to see the holo-room activated. He had not requested any holo-credits for today. He walked into the bath area.
Tan gasped, "Teshra?'
"You left me, remember.", Teshra looked at Tan.
He looked at her, "But how?"
Tan knew that Teshra had become a bit of hero of the marines after the Romulan liberation and her unit, known as the Terrorists, was among the most feared in the marine corp.
"Rear Admiral Summer Vasa's first assignment as Chief of Staff was to assign newly promoted Rear Admiral Teshra Trmel as Executive Officer aboard Starbase 756.", Teshra smiled.
"I am for you.", Teshra looked at Tan, motioning him into the bath.
Tan just stood there. He was still scared. All this was happening at once.
Teshra could see the boyish fear in the great man. She stood up. She walked over and interlaced her fingers into the hands of the man she had grown to love and respect. She clasped his hand and put it on her heart. Tan could feel her Andorian heartbeat. He had thought his heart had been broken forever but Teshra was here to share hers.
Teshra walked him into the water, slowly undressing him as the pair disappeared in the bubbles.
Where there once had been a great mess, there was now love. Cleaning up the mess often takes a personal touch.
