Joanna had spent much of the afternoon getting her paperwork done for her patients.  She had been able to get past her thoughts of the great lunch she had had with David and concentrate on her duties.  She had also made plans to go to dinner with the station's Operations Manager.  The two had met a few days earlier as Joanna was on the Promenade shopping.  Audra had recognized her and come over to welcome her to the station.
 
Just then, the buzzer to her office door chimed.  "Come in," she responded.
 
The doors shushed open to reveal Audra Firehwak.  She was wearing plain clothes and enjoying a break from her uniform.  She felt like she had been living in it over the past few days as the station's personnel dealt with the after effects of the explosion.  She was wearing a pair of jeans and a light green sweater.

Audra stepped into the office and noticed that Joanna was still dressed in her uniform.  "Rough day?"
 
Joanna shook her head.  "Not really," she responded.  "It was actually a nice one.  Why do you ask?"
 
"Well, I stopped by your quarters to meet you for dinner like we planned and you weren't there."
 
"Computer, what time is it?"
 
"The time is 1830 hours."
 
Joanna glanced toward her visitor.  "I am so sorry.  I got into my work.  I had no idea that it was this late.  Do you mind if we just stop by my quarters so I can change."
 
Audra laughed.  "Of course.  This dinner is supposed to be a chance for us to unwind with no pressures.  You just have to promise that you are not going to take all evening getting ready."
 
Joanna stood up and started neatening up the PADDs that had piled up on the coffee table.  "I think that is a problem I can keep.  I just want to be in something a little less formal than a uniform."
 
"I can definitley understand that," replied Audra.  "Let's get going.  We have reservation for 0700."
