, "That's soo good. I don't usually like replicated stuff.. will have to go to Canada sometime and try the real stuff."
Dan stated, Luna couldn't stand the somewhat awkward silence that had momentarily proceeded this statement at her very forthright question.
"Damn my inquiring mind." Luna had chastised herself quietly, "could I be anymore obvious"
Luna was however grateful to Daniel for not choosing to walk away but instead as she took a sip of her drink she chose to allow herself to fully understand his reply before venturing anymore direct questions that she blamed on her job.
"In answer to your question Luna. There been a couple of instances in my life where there could have been a Ms Brooks. One of those ended up being sent on a mission for Command and never came back. You aren't the only one who has had shall we say difficult relationships with other officers......"
Luna looked a little pained by this remark trying her best to rally herself as she remembered Keval and Christian. If her job hadn't got in the way she may have been happily married.
he trailed off taking a sip of his drink before adding,
"Having had these relationships, I have decided in my time it is better off to have just the odd random fling and not get too attached. See, it only breaks you when something happens. Within my career I have seen a lot of that.. and being in StarFleet kind of makes you set aside from normal relationships. Life is never easy at the best of times, decisions have to be made that could cost the lives of good friends let alone a partner... so it isn't through the lack of not looking, just got too close and ended up hurt to many times. I decided it was just better off for me being as I am and adding to that I am not the worlds best at getting the hint anyone is actually flirting with me... I just think they are being nice."
Taking another sip of his hot chocolate.
"See Ms Pond.. sometimes an easy question can be something that leads to a very difficult answer."
Luna nodded before answering
"As a Security officer I am only too aware of the perils of the job, however I also believe that a life without a soulmate and true love is a life not lived to its fullest.We are all aware that in this line of work tomorrow is never a guarantee" Luna took hold of Dan's hand "But living in fear of what could be... holds us back from our chance of true happiness."
Luna then giggled slightly at the remembering of Daniel's inability to see flirting before adding and bringing him In close
"Oh and Dan if it isn't obvious enough by now I have such strong feelings for you it hurts. I have done now for quite some time... we have known each other for years but if I don't tell you now... I'm frightened I'll miss my opportunity to be finally truly happy "
Luna kept hold of Dan's hand waiting for his response and praying that she wouldn't be rejected, as this would be the last thing that she could cope with after having been so open and honest with him.
