Especially written for my co-mod frakcancer who shall now have to write me some sort of multi chapter fic, I think. *snort*

“Thank you for meeting me here instead of the restaurant your aide originally booked, Admiral.”

She tucked a piece of wayward hair back beneath her headscarf. It was black; a sign of respect for her late husband, Richard.
“There would be little point, Admiral, if you didn’t believe in the reason for keeping kosher. When we started these negotiations, you told me that you were an atheist.”

“What possible reason would you have to convert?”
“You,” he murmured. “You could make me believe.”
