“Why are you asking?”Dax wanted to know.
I held up the tablet.“Making a supply order.Figured you all might like something other than ready-to-eat meals.We can probably get the ingredients here on Rigel Naught.”
“Hell, yeah.”Burn snatched my tablet out of my hand and ignored my protest.Her finger scrolled over the list.“Veggies?Yeah, I suppose we might as well.Chocolate?Thank god.Coffee.Good, good.”
Annoyance spiked as she continued to check my work.I didn’t seeherthinking ahead and making a supply list.
“Oil?Spare parts?”She peered up at me frommyseat.
“Never travel without replacement parts if you can help it.We should be able to get what we need at a good price here.Which is better than spending too much later—or not being able to find it at all.”
“Okay.That makes sense.”
Oh goodie.So glad she approved.I tried to grab my tablet back, but Burn moved it to her other hand, farther away.
“Underwear?Clothes?”
Color flared in my cheeks.“I’ve had one outfit for almost a week now.I want—no, Ineed—a change of clothes.”I just might burn my whole outfit once I purchased replacements.
“Oooh,” Burn said.“That’s why you were wearing Dax’s clothes.Not because you were banging him.”
My cheeks blazed hotter.
“That’s enough, Burn.”Dax finally reined her in.“Give Lacy her tablet back.”
Burn handed it over.“Make sure you add spaghetti and meatballs for me.”
I dutifully added the ingredients to the ship’s order.
“My favorite meal is pizza,” Dax said.
I looked at him.“That’s pretty vague.What kind of pizza?”
“Any kind.”
“Seriously?”
“He’s telling the truth,” Burn said.“He’s never met a pizza he didn’t like.”
“Pick one, please.”I was not shopping for whatever pizza.
“Meat and veggie.”
“That I can do.”Those ingredients went on the list.
“Add the ingredients for your favorite meal, too,” he added.
“Oh, no, that’s okay,” I stammered.
“No arguments.”
I nodded.
“Now, Sarge,” Burn tried to interject, but he ignored her.
“Add steak and potatoes,” Dax said.“That’s Finn’s favorite.”
I typed in the ingredients for noodles for me and Finn’s steak, though I added a price limit for that.Dax and Burn had no idea what fresh meat could cost out here.
