“I don’t know if that will stay my schedule, and I won’t always be on call so I don’t have to stay. There is a lot that has to be fixed. The last senior staff team didn’t leave things in a good spot. Dr Fayth and I want to make sure we are putting people where their skills and experience will do the most good. To do that we have to work with them. And there are A LOT of Medical staff.”

Hannah reached over and held his hand for a long minute. “I’ll be here for two weeks and then the ship a week and then 2 weeks here again. Maybe…maybe you could come see me?”

Hannah

Jason looked at her and smiled. “On the ship? I doubt they would let me.” and a sudden realization hit him and his eyes widened in shock and trepidation. “Shit… I didn’t tell you something. It just… slipped my mind. I… we can’t talk about it here. Its not important, but its part of my answer to your question. And I promise to tell you when we go back to the apartment, ok?”

Jason

Hannah didn’t see why not, he was still a reserve officer…but he was working for the colonial government. And he had been with SFI. That carried its own issues. She tried not to sigh, not to show it, but why did everything have to be so complicated? “Yeah, okay. It happens, we can talk later.”

The waiter returned to refill drinks and offered to bring Hannah more soup, but she declined. He set a small box on the table. “Compliments of Mr. O’Dowd. He asked if you would remind Oj’kiv to come in once in awhile.” Hannah nodded and then looked at the box curiously and opened it. Her mouth made a little “O” shape. Deserts, all with ginger.

She turned the box so he could see. It was filled with Gingerbread Truffles, Gingersnap Cookies, Ginger-Cardamom Cowboy Cookies, Ginger Lemon Cremes, and Gingerbread cookie men.

Hannah

Jason grinned and said “So you can’t use nausea as a reason not to kiss me again.” and he winked at her. The waiter returned and Reilly paid. He then looked at Hannah and smiled. Do you want me to take you home? And where we are at with this- and he gestured between them, “- you will have to be specific on where that is exactly.* and he laughed. He wasn’t wrong. There was a lot they needed to unpack, settle, talk through… but he wasn’t worried about it. Nervous? Sure. Scared? More than a little. But worry was behind him… for the moment.

Jason

Hannah shook her head with that look like she was laughing silently again. That was a tough question. Hannah didn’t really feel like anywhere was home. Not yet. She knew where she wanted it to be. Hannah was having g a hard time reco ceiling who she used to be with who she had become. Some of it was necessary and some felt like an ill-fitting costume. I’d like that if you’re done with work. Can we go to your place? Hannah took the box and put it inside that pack she had carried with her that morning. It was mostly empty now. She had left a change of clothes and the Candied in her office. It seemed like a good idea, so she didn6have to worry about where she was or if she had what she needed each morning. Then she stood and before they started to leave she kissed his cheek.

Hannah

He smiled at her and then walked her out of the pub and to a waiting ground car. It was a quick five minute ride back his… their?… whatever… apartment building. They walked in and the guard smiled. “Welcome back. Hope the day was a good one.” Reilly smiled and said “I think so.” and he led Hannah to the private lift and up to the penthouse.

As they entered, he took her arm gently and signed I am not sick. I fabricated that so I could leave Intelligence without them following me. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to not tell when I told you the rest. I really did just forget.

Jason

Hannah took his hands and squeezed before letting go. I already knew that. No, I didn’t scan you. Don’t lie to a doctor about an illness. You don’t have the symptoms that go with it, even with treatment. 3 times a week with a hyperbaric chamber indicates a moderate to acute case. You would still have small symptoms and you don’t. She kissed his cheek again. Thank you for telling me, and I’m really glad you’re okay.

Hannah

Jason looked at her and then put his hands on her waist and then, for the second time in the past day, kissed her. He then smiled and said Now. Now I am okay. and he moved towards the stairs. I’m going to change out of work clothes. and smiled and started up the stairs.

Jason

Hannah stepped into him, her hands resting on his shoulders, kissing him in a way that left no doubt about how she felt about what was happening between them - tentative but sure. She liked his smile it made the corners of his eyes crinkle and they looked greener. Good. Me too.

Changing sounded good. She headed for the stairs, snagging a candy from the bowl and popping it in her mouth. She went into the room he had set up for her and emptied the pack and set it down. She had gotten a reply from Alexis earlier and would have to call later.

The only other clothes Hannah had, besides pajamas, was soft black cotton pants and a peach sweater. Then she carried the deserts and drink container back down with her and went to the sink to wash the bottle.

Hannah

Hands settled on her waist and a light kiss settled on her cheek. Jason stepped around and opened a door to the chiller and pulled out a bottle of an amber-colored beverage. He was dressed in a pair of gym shorts and a gray t-shirt with faded red letters that said ‘Annapolis Crew’ and he leaned against the counter and looked at her. He set the bottle down and signed Do you need anything in your room? You are welcome to bring as little or as much as you want, you know.

Jason

Hannah turned off the water and dried the bottle and her hands. A few more clothes and toiletries, but she had enough for now. It wouldn’t be that hard to grab them later. I will. She had to go through her things first. It was part of going through all that baggage. But there was something. Be right back.

She went up to the room and came back carrying her alarm. “It’s my alarm clock, but it can connect to lots of things. Like my comms. On the ship it will wake me if the red or yellow alert klaxons off. I tried to connect it to the building emergency alarms but I couldn’t get it. I was tired. I realized today it was because I didn’t have the codes for it.”

Hannah

Jason smiled and nodded. He took the device and walked over to the main computer terminal in the wall. He tapped a few commands, a few more, then turned and looked at her. “Give me a six digit code for you.”
