IMAGINE..

Working with Jim in a StarFleet office, one ship captain to another. You two would lock eyes and smile several times during the day and smile before returning to work.

"Wanna meet for coffee later?"

"Coffee? You sure you didn't mispronounce some form of alcoholic drink that'll get me wasted and into bed?"

"Well you do know how to read a man's mind."

"It's not that hard, you have quite the reputation."
