Old habits, they die hard. She can't help the way she watches him, the fabric of his shirt shifting and catching against his shoulders, his chest. He looks good. He always looks good. Familiar, like the deck of the Enterprise, streamlined and sturdy. Built to take a beating and dish one right back out, with ruthless precision and absolute determination. Blue eyes are bright against tan skin, even if they're still watching her a little warily, like he thinks she's going to start reading him the riot act right away.
Maybe she should. Maybe she should just get right into it, but she doesn't, just sips at her drink and studies him, sitting there across the table, in a spot she's imagined a hundred times, in a situation that just never seemed to actually come to fruition before.
It's a novelty, and she sort of wants to enjoy it for a second. Dinner with Steve McGarrett. "I'm learning all kinds of new things about you."
With a pointed eyebrow lift, as she leans back, relaxed. The breeze comes through the open window, toys with a long loose lock before she pushes it back behind her ear. "I have to say, it's nice to actually make it to the table for once."
