Chakotay sculls his drink in the hope that he won’t be able to taste the food.
But let’s be honest, he doesn’t come to these dinners with Kathryn for the food. It’s the time he gets to spend with her. That rare and intimate moment where the only people who exist are Kathryn and Chakotay.
He could get lost in their banter, he could drown in her eyes and he could die happy after a glimmer of her smile. Their conversations are always interesting, as long as Kathryn is interested.
For a moment Chakotay can imagine life back on Earth. Their first dinner as a couple. Their first dinner after they’re wedding. The first time their son is big enough to sit at the table without a booster seat.
He sees them growing old, telling each other what they never dared voice while they were on Voyager.
And all of this gets him through another day.
