Ay, Ay, Captain.

I'm slow dancing with a charming wedding attendee. We exchange 'resume' information- current occupation, where we went to school, where we're from, how we know the bride and groom, etc. We then share this exchange :

Me: When is the s'mores making happening?

He: They don't have any chocolate or graham crackers.

Me: What?!

[He shrugs and flashes a smile]

[Feeling emboldened, I respond]: I will ask this of you: find me chocolate and graham crackers so we may make s'mores [pauses, and adds:] please? [because I'm awful at being unreasonably demanding]

[Surprise look on his face, like, eyes wide open- but I'm pretty sure his lips are curled up and back in a delighted smile.]

Me: [Full belly nervous chuckle] I'm sure this is one of the least demanding request you've ever received from a woman.

[NB: he's the owner and heir to a family owned yachting company, o, and he also captains their fleet.]
