[ Candles weren't the best idea on a starship. While the ship might be relatively stable, they could never predict every asteroid or random missile strike that might result in a random jolt that would send everyone crashing into walls, and possibly send candles to the floor.
So Nyota was taking a chance, though she was careful to firmly attach the candles to their holders, and those to the table, double-checking that everything was stable enough, before digging out matches and lighting the candles.
There was already a blanket spread out, a picnic basket with a few Vulcan dishes she'd had Scotty and Jim program into the replicators, and a bottle of wine (primarily for her, though she was sure she could get Spock to enjoy at least one glass). And finally, finished with prep, she ordered the computer to pipe in music - carefully selected days earlier, just waiting for the opportunity.
She'd left Spock just outside the rec room that she had commandeered for the evening, with orders to keep his eyes closed until she told, and he was still there when she opened the door. She reached out for his hands, guiding him inside. ]
