She planted her hands on the desk and leaned forward. “You’ve met him now. Do you really think he’d let me squirm out of it?” She snorted. “That man is the ultimate mother hen, which is frankly hilarious given the fact that I was the one that raised two children. He’s more savvy than he seems. I’m sure you two will have no issues,” she said, shaking her head.

“Of that I have no doubt. Well I better get going. I’ve disappeared from the hospital long enough. They will send a search oarty out rather than try my comm.” Sharah stood and grabbed her bag, lifting it to her shoulder.

Rising and moving around the desk, Eela gazed at Sharah intently, gratitude filling her hazel eyes. She leaned in and wrapped her arms around the younger woman and just held her gently. “Thank you,” she whispered. It was more than just the plant, or the exercise. It was the understanding and having someone hold space for her. This process she was embarking on to undo the false beliefs she had was more than just reframing thoughts. She would have to confront a lot of things that had had and see them how they truly were, not as she had wished them to be. It was bound to be painful, but Eela Dasca was made of stern stuff. And with friend like Sharah, she’d make it through.

~Eela Dasca, Lt. Gov.

Sharah hugged her back receiving and giving warmth. This was going to havevto go in that infernal journal now. She pulled back after a moment and shook her head. “It’s what friends do, Eela. Now let me let you get back to work before Cort doesn’t like me.”

Eela let out a throaty chuckle. “More like he’ll harass me later for working too late, so yes, I really should get started on all this. Have a good Sharah,” she said before moving back around to her seat. Settling in, she reached out and touched her plant, letting it respond to her. It just made her smile, plain and simple.

Sharah headed out the office door and looked around, spotting the aid she walked right up to him, “Just the person I need to talk to.”

Fayth, SFCMO

In his office, Belanger swivelled in his chair and flashed a grin. “Uh oh? That means a few different things and I’m not sure if it’s a good one or not,” he said with a light laugh. “What can I do for you, Doctor?”

~Dasca & Belanger

His laughter was catching. “Hopefully this is a good one. Ms Dasca has decided to participate in this craziness. Given the circumstances I thought it would be good for her to go with a few others of us on Wed. We’re getting dinner and making an afternoon until whenever of it. Shopping and prepping for the auction. I can get you the names of the shops and restaurant and who is going.”

Fayth, SFCMO

Shock flooded his face, though underneath it was unbridled amusement. “What? Are you actually telling me you’ve convinced her to have fun?” Cort shook his head. “Sorcery. That’s what that is,” he said as he swivelled back to his screen.

Sharah tried not to laugh, “It felt a bit magical when she agreed. I don’t think I can take credit for it though.”

Bringing up Dasca’s schedule it was clear even if Sharah couldn’t see the details of which each item was that it was packed well beyond even the current week. Cort eyed it and then moved a couple items, simply sliding them over. Then he frowned. “Hmmm, one item is Starfleet related and that is Lieutenant Watt’s domain, but I can talk to Sherri and I think we can make it work,” he said, looking over his shoulder. “I will warn you that there are a couple things going on that might have to take precedence but if she’s committed to going I suspect you’re good to go.” Eela was a very determined woman and once she had settled on something, she rather clung to it.

Sharah shrugged, “Talking the choir here. Head of a hospital. Everyone going is a medical professional, we get it. However, hang on.” Sharah pulled out her comm and had a quiet conversation. “That was Jal’na Sherko. She said to cancel Ms Dasca’s Tuesday evening appt. That having fun is sometimes more important than exercises. Maybe that will ease up some room?”

Shaking his head, he swivelled back to face Fayth. “I am so going to have to go to this auction now, aren’t I? I feel like this needs to be witnessed.” Cort flashed another grin. Even though it would be fun to tease Eela he was also just really happy to see her taking personal risks. It was one thing for her to take political or work ones. It was quite another to throw herself as a person on the line in even small ways. Small wonders.

~Cort Belanger

Sharah nodded quite seriously but with a michevious look on her face. “Oh I think you most certainly come. Sloan Square, Saturday at 1300. If you plan to bid make sure you register before Saturday.”
