"I expect... " A wan smile crossed Gabriel's face. "I expect you'll believe whatever you want to believe."

"I'm sorry, Commander," Gabriel shrugged, "but it's rather obvious that you've made up your mind about what happened while I was with the princess, and I'm certain there's nothing else I could say that'll persuade you otherwise." Gabriel stood up and headed for the door. "You'll excuse me, Commander. I'm due on the bridge."

Connie spun around, fury flashing across her eyes. "Capta... Chikushou, Gabriel Frost, we're not done here! Not by a long shot!"

Just before he entered the door sensor's range, Gabriel stopped and looked over his shoulder. The tone of his reply was heavy with regret, carrying with it a note of sad finality.

"No, we are done."
 
I have a long-running (and very disjointed) fic that is perpetually "in progress", set aboard the starship Challenger; ship and many of the races that populate my fic 'verse are of my own devising. I've used them for most of my writing challenge entries, and you can use the search function in the FanFic forum to find those and other threads with my stories.
 
It's interesting how much of a story one can condense into a short scene like that. You left it vague enough for us to fill in many of the blanks and yet gave us enough hints to make it a complete scene (or little story).
