As soon as they were done, Ridley called Suzanne to see if she would join him for dinner and possibly a movie afterward. She'd agreed to meet him in the cafeteria in a few minutes and he headed in the direction of his quarters to get cleaned up.

Suzanne rushed to the cafeteria, feeling a little better than earlier. The day had been too long, and the night before too short. She'd dealt with one crisis after another from the moment she'd been called from Lee's quarters the night before, and truthfully, she'd only managed to grab a handful of hours rest between crises ( ... )
