We continue “Love Month”

Jim spotted Uhura going into her quarters holding a single red rose. She had a dreamy look on her face.

He knew Sulu had been experimenting with growing different varieties of Earth plants and flowers in his botany lab.

But Jim couldn’t help feeling…well not despondent. That was a little extreme. Disappointed? Definitely. Disheartened? Was that as bad as despondent? He didn’t think so.

Anyway, since rumor had been that Uhura had ended things with Spock for good this time, Jim felt the brief spark of hope he’d felt for his own chance with Spock fizzle out.

Strange, too, as he could have sworn during his recent flirting with Spock that Spock was reciprocating.

With a weary sigh, Jim decided he’d better mind his own business and enter his own quarters.

When he stepped inside his bed was covered in red rose petals. To the left of his bed, a table and chairs had been set up with two table settings, candlelight and glasses of champagne.

Jim blinked.

It was then Spock stepped into his view.

Jim grinned as Spock held out his hand for Jim to accept.

Of course Jim did.
