NOTES:
There's not too much to say about this story.
As always, I'm finding the Mao/Weber dynamic to be fun to play around with. I did have a long way coming to actually find their ship, but I think I get it now. Weber talks a big game, but is really a die-hard romantic underneath. He's really quite sweet if you kind of quirk your head a little to the left when you watch him. :D
Therefore, I think I'm getting their relationship. Here, it's professional, but flirty. They explore boundaries, but Melissa Mao is always going to be professional first. This is why I love her.
And let me also say, that as a runner who's not ungifted in the chest department, I know well what she'd have to deal with on the subject of chafing. And let me close by only saying, "It sucks."
