So he'd crashed the damn thing. No surprise. But this time he'd done serious damage.

Seven was dead, the shuttle destroyed, and there stood Kathryn with hands on hips, smiling sweetly. "Dinner, Chakotay?" she asked. And he knew then what his captain had done. With his replicator rations deducted for the cost of the shuttle, dinners with Kathryn would be more frequent.

"Always, Kathryn," he whispered. And kissed her.
