Letting him try his hand, Alex gulped at her water like a woman dying from thirst. Or from embarrassment that, though faded from her skin, still teased at the front of her mind. One eyebrow lifted beneath her bangs at the familiarity in his tone, and by the time she'd set her nearly empty glass back down, the waitress had taken her leave.
He'd nailed her to rights, and that meant she'd lost the first dare between them--not a good trend to be starting. She'd been eating the blandest pre-fab she'd ever experienced since the ship departed two stations ago. Highly unusual for a cruise ship, even for employee fare, so it would've been unlikely he could have guessed that much.
"Gods, don't tell me they've got a file on things I like to eat." She whispered the words, already muffled as she'd covered her face with her hands, her elbows on the table. "I should read all the fine print when I sign up for things, right?"
"Round 1 is yours," she said, lowering her hands and trying not to drool at his description. Maybe it'd been to easy a challenge. He'd ordered the same. Luck? Coincidence? But something told her the man sitting across the booth wasn't one to leave many things to chance. Her palms flattened on the table and her fingers inched toward his mug. "So. First names with the chef? I thought you looked comfortable here. Just how long have you been waiting for your post, anyway?"
And as for the coffee...her thieving fingers attempted to slip around his before she realized what they were doing, stilling when she caught them warming themselves on the toasty surface of the mug.
"Dirt? I disbelieve."

Dreams come in a size too big so we can grow into them.
