Honestly, if Kaidan was into anything resembling just having a good time (hah) he would have probably said skip the drinks, and head back to Freddie's place immediately. He wasn't just flattering her when he said she was beautiful, she was. Kaidan was just... kind of sick of being alone every night. Then again, when you lived on a spaceship, that was kind of par for the course, but... ever since everything he'd been through as a kid, and then getting into the military, he'd thought that maybe it would be better to stay away, and then life just...passed him by. Go figure.

He'd thought things through in his head, a lot. He'd hoped that he'd find the right one but...

Well, a damn reaper invasion got in the way of those things. "Tell you what, if I change my mind, or if... if I decide that maybe it's not worth waiting for..." he shook his head. "You'll be the first one I call."
