   Summary

   A night out celebrating a friend is interrupted with the arrival of an unwanted guest. In your rush to leave the ballroom you aren't aware of the military gala happening in the adjacent space. Fleeing into the alley to get fresh air and to get away from the man you've been avoiding you're met with a perceptive Lieutenant who isn't about to let you be seen.

   Or, when Simon met his Sweetheart.
