Rafe entered his quarters after being released from Sickbay and got ready for bed. His mind flashed back to the night he saw Captain Tarin at the banquet after Cold Station 31. He remembered the personal log he recorded that night.

=== Flashback ===
Mission: Episode 18 - Cold Stationn 31
Location: Regula I - Rafe Caradec's Temporary Quarters
Timeline: MD 18, 2312 hours

Rafe laid on his bed and relived the evening in his mind and decided to make it part of his personal record. "Computer, record personal log, begin recording." The computer responded, "Personal log recording begun."

"Well, I survived another night. I feel quite sure that I almost got the beat down of my life by the Klingons and Lt. Aria didn't help. I guess she's trying to play her part all in the name of cooperation and building alliances. I guess that couldn't hurt. Right now we could use them, that's for sure. I do have to say, it was such a change in atmosphere from the Klingons to walking in and seeing the captain.

Man was she a sight for sore eyes and so beautiful. Her skin so creamy, her slim frame and her hair book-casing that face of freckles. I tried to act natural, but what can one do at that moment? So I did the first thing that came to mind. I gently took her hand, bent down and kissed it. It felt soft to the touch and wonderful to the lips. She was taken aback at my gesture. I played that I regretted what I had done. Yet, truly, I relished it. She was beautiful. I wanted to caress her face and tell her so but she would most likely have flipped me onto the table of food and thrown me in the brig. That would have been a sight!

I better behave myself. I do actually want a career in Starfleet. I know it's just an infatuation as I don't know her really at all. But it can't hurt to imagine. She is lovely, after all." Rafe thought a little more about that night and ended his personal log. "Computer, end recording." The computer acknowledged.

Rafe enjoyed the memory of that night and faded off to sleep.
