Short Summary: Her POV on a romantic evening.
-------------------------

The ‘candles’ were lit strings coiled up in cups filled with oil from a bird or pterosaur.

How had he done this?

The table was a broad flat boulder that’d been strenuously polished and cleaned til it shone.

We haven’t been here that long, surely.

The meat had been cooked medium-well and…she decided not to inquire as to just what it had been.

Overhead, the first stars were coming out, very early in the evening.

I didn’t know he felt this way.

“I’m flattered,” Claudia said to him beside her, “Captain Ryan, but –“

“Thomas.”
