“I’m glad you’re with me, Astra” Mike cooed to Khraa/Astra, as the pair romantically held hands and strolled along a hiking trail during the sunset hours, as if their loving walk was straight out of a romantic movie.

“I’m glad you’re with me too, Mike” Khraa/Astra cooed back. “And I’m glad that you’re retiring from the Bureau soon. Does it make you feel better?”

“It sure does.”

They strolled a bit before Mike said, “I hope you understand, Astra, that if we do get married, our age difference can cause its own difficulties.”

“Baby,” Khraa/Astra said, “I don’t care. Really, I don’t. I won’t be the first woman who loved an awesome guy old enough to be her dad — and I won’t be the last.”

“Alright. Now, about my future plans for after I retire in a few months, up to either my dying day or R-Day.”

“R-Day?” Khraa/Astra sked, puzzled.

“Rapture Day. My nickname for the day the Rapture happens.”

Khraa/Astra chuckled mildly as she said, “I see.”

“Anyhow, I’ve been offered a pastoring position with a church after my flat-footing days are done. A real pastor’s life isn’t like 7th Heaven, you know.”

“Or that 7th Heaven clone show Heavenly Home. Isn’t it odd, Mike, that the eldest daughter in each of those shows was played by an actress named Jessica?”

“It is” Mike said with a brief chuckle. “But whether it’s 7th Heaven or Heavenly Home, a preacher’s reality differs greatly from those of fictional TV preachers.”

“I know, Mike. But still, to show you how much I do love you…” Khraa/Astra then quoted the Bible with loving humility in King James Biblical English, “Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee. For whither thou goest, I will go. And where thou lodgest, I will lodge. Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried.”

Mike was pleasantly taken aback by the words Khraa/Astra quoted from the Book of Ruth, and how her voice displayed her true desires for him.

“You know that’s from the Book of Ruth, right?”

Khraa/Astra nodded yes with a grin, and then told him, “I really mean it, Mike. I’m with you through thick and thin, for better and worse, richer or poorer, sickness, health, so-so-ness... come what may, I’m with you, forever. I’ll always love you, Mike. I’m all yours… always.”

“Well…” a thankfully appreciative Mike said, with tender gentleness.
