"I have an issue for you" Carina declared as Maya sipped on her wine. Although Carina was focused on flames dancing in her fireplace as she spoke, Maya was focused solely on the lady beside her, unable to try to to anything but appreciate the way the hearth illuminated her features.
"Okay, shoot" Maya nodded, realizing after a moment's pause that Carina wasexpecting permission before she asked anything. A soft smile took over Maya's lips at how well she already appeared to be ready to read Carina despite the very fact this was only their fourth date. it had been a incontrovertible fact that further confirmed that the doctor was someone special.
"Why did you become a firefighter?" Carina asked. Her voice was laced with intrigue as she finally turned to Maya,the warmth rising in her cheeks when she realized the opposite woman had been watching her the whole time. "Olympian to fireside Captain looks like quite big career jump..."
"Everyone who asks that question always thinks it mustare due to some big life-changing moment" Maya chuckled, swirling what was left of her wine around in her glass as she considered her answer to Carina's question "They think most firefighters must've been saved from a fireplace or an accident or something before they might even consider it as a career"

"Doyou think altogether that?" Carina asked, inching closer to Maya on the couch "That things are meant to be?"
"Yeah" Maya nodded, closingthe space between them and kissing Carina's lips chastely before breaking up "I do believe that some things and more importantly some people are meant to be..."
"Okay, shoot" Maya nodded, realizing after a moment's pause that Carina was
