He had a thing about touching. Manhandling her across half the station, moving her hands where he wanted them--and she had to cut off that direction of thought before it burned atmos like a ship without a grav rig.
"I can't believe you've been here 'a few days' and already know a guy you can score real--actual-real!--coffee beans from. Yes! Of course you must do that!" She pointed toward the kitchen as if to order him to do so immediately, then dropped her hand so the waitress would stop giving her that puzzled look. Thanking the woman, she focused on the food set before her, devouring the scents and the display for a mere beat before digging in with verve. After plucking the onions from where they'd attempted to hide between two crisp slices of lettuce, the meal was on.
Alex scarfed her burger insomuch as a giant, entire-cow concoction topped with the gleanings of a personal garden--gods, so fresh--could be scarfed, chewing like she'd not eaten in weeks.
Which, if one counted flavor and grease and loads of stars-blessed texture as food, she hadn't. And Alex, despite her figure, could put away some good food.
"Gods, this is delicious!" The young woman had enthusiastically plowed through almost half of her burger before pausing to grab a napkin, and as she sent praises to the chef via the waitress, curling her fingers around the fresh, cool refill, Alex caught a glimpse of Charles' food. The whole one bite he appeared to still be chewing. Sheepishly, she looked down at her own plate and swallowed the sip of water she'd been in the middle of. "Oookay. So what, you're...not hungry? I know you left the choice to me, but you could've said something." Her words seemed contrite, punctuated though they were between inhaled, blissfully prepared lengths of fried bread batter that she'd peeled from around the onions.
Alex lowered her voice, her lips twitching into a suspicious frown. "And if you only dragged me here to watch me eat...that's kind of awkward. Should probably be a ground rule or something before we get you loaded up on the Horizon." She paused, a fry midway to her mouth. "Actually. We should probably set several of those."

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