Sharah felt him pull back and she nodded, ‘Imzadi.’ Her thoughts were as scrambled as his, and she didn’t think she could really help either of them calm their thoughts. She, for once, so focused in her own moment the static and noise were less than an after thought. A kind of stillness came with the scrambled thoughts though. Trying to remember, impress in her memory, that moment. His last thought come to her and she smiled and hugged him, ‘It’s not petty. I have no desire to share this moment with anyone else, and I’m afraid I have no desire or focus available to determine how alone we might be.’ She looked up into his eyes, ‘I don’t want to move past this moment in time, not just yet, but perhaps,’ The thought of someone else stumbling on this moment was obviously abhorrent to her.

‘Perhaps what?’ Joseph asked, gazing into Sharah’s eyes. ‘You want to get out of the corridor?’ He felt his nerves slightly settling, enough to regain some semblance of rational thought. He took another deep breath. ‘I can’t say I particularly care where we are as long as it’s together.’ Joseph had regained his sense enough to kick himself for sounding so cliche and sappy. He was not himself in this moment, and Joseph knew that.

‘Yes,’ Sharah took a deep breath to focus through, or with, the tide of emotions between them, ‘I want to get out of the corridor.’ She tried to take a half step back, but found she was a bit unsteady, and felt rather foolish, like a school girl. ‘I like the cliche. They come so unexpectedly and honestly they make me feel cherished.’ She held his hand a little tighter. She tried for another deep breath and found her nerves settling a little. ‘I’m not sure where, but let’s get out of the corridor.’

Joseph nodded. ‘I’m glad you appreciate the cliche.’ He smirked, ‘If you are too uneasy to walk I could carry you.’ He pointed to the end of the hallway, ‘Turbolift down there, we can go wherever you like.’ He realized at the moment how crazy the two of them most seem, not speaking a word to each other verbally and being clearly disorientated. That realization simply made his appreciation for his bond with Sharah all the stronger and greater, and his smile remained on his face.

‘Hmmm…though the idea of you carrying me off is rather romantic, I’m afraid that some poor soul would make the mistake that I’m ill again and try to hard to help,’ the image in her head was rather comical, but the real situation would be rather frustrating. ‘I guess you could always tell them I broke my ankle,’ she laughed. She held onto his arm this time as they started walking toward the turbolift, she really had no idea where she wanted to go, just away from people. ‘If we look too crazy we could always resort back to verbal communication,’ she tried to convey she was teasing, but she would if it made it easier, though she really didn’t want to.
