Sharah looked at Yavia and she nodded, “You go too. I’m fine. Go breathe.” Yavia hugged them both. “TK will you drop her at the hospital? I’ll cook. Something really different. We’ll enjoy or have a good laugh at my expense.” She left the room.

Sharah shook her head, “I can call for the transporter.” She really needed to be away from people so she could breathe and center herself. The hospital didn’t feel like the place to do that. Maybe out in the trees for awhile. She kissed him, “I love you.”

Sharah

He smiled at her and said “I love you too, Sharah. And I don’t mind dropping you somewhere. Or maybe we can go play hooky together?” and he grinned and winked at her. “I know a few cafes and a nice old-time movie theatre, if you would be interested.”

Tenkiller

“Oh, I am very interested.” That was the best idea Sharah had heard since they built the deck. And playing hooky to go on a date with Charles was perfect. “And I think Yavia would approve of us playing hooky.”

“Good. Tell you what. I want you to meet me at the southwest corner of the Plaza Exchange at one. I think us not leaving together will be easier on Eela. Seems less like we are running off. Meet me there, and I have a plan.” and he smiled at her.

Yavia climbed the stairs and went into the kitchen. “You two need anything? I’m making sandwiches for the crew outside. They gotta eat too.”

Yavia

Eela had eaten half her pita and couldn’t eat anymore. Instead she sat sipping her water (she was temped to refill her whiskey but thought better of it) while resting her right arm gently on the edge of the table. She couldn’t feel the pain in her shoulder and arm but it did feel more stiff. “Nothing for me,” she said quietly. After all the emotional turmoil earlier, she was allowing herself to get quiet, to listen for her intuition. It felt strangely absent now, but in reality there had been a disconnect for awhile. Years.

There was a path forward revealing itself to her and though she was reluctant, if there was anything Eela Dasca knew it was how to take difficult steps forward. This would be no different.

A few minutes later, Tenkiller came up the stairs in uniform. He kissed Yavia on the cheek and again nodded at Eela. He looked at Jal’na and said “I understand congratulations are in order. Or is it sympathy to Lord Duroc?” and he smiled and smacked her on the shoulder hard in the Klingon way.

Jal’na laughed, “Sympathy! He just doesn’t know it yet.” Yavia grinned from the kitchen, she ended going to give Jal’na such hell later.

Eela smiled a little, taking in the happy feelings. She really was looking forward to tomorrow evening and whatever that entailed, even if it didn’t bode well for how she’d feel Wednesday morning.

He picked up a pita and said “I’m gonna run to the office. I’ll be back in time for dinner.” and he waved and walked out the door.

Sharah came up the stairs a few minutes after Charles left. She went into the kitchen with Yavia and grabbed an insulated bag and filled it with water bottles. “Who’s here today?” Sharah asked after glancing at the pitas and snagging one. Yavia rattled off several names and Sharah went to the computer and stood there for a long minute. Then she went into the chiller and started making a different sandwich. “Dorvan is allergic to onions. Give him this.”

Jal’na downed the rest of her prune juice and carried her dishes into the kitchen. “Alright, Eela. Ready to get started?”

Jal’na

Eela nodded and pushed herself to her feet with her left arm (strangely the better feeling one now) and also took out her dishes. She eyed Jal’na and sighed a little. “Fair warning there’s been whiskey.” Whiskey and rage. Her sense of what her body could and could not do was not there but they had worked together so much that she trusted Jal’na to do what would help in the long run, even if it didn’t feel great in the moment or immediately afterwards.

~Eela

Jal’na nodded and glanced at Yavia who help up 3 fingers and pointed to the now empty glass. “GOOD! You will be relaxed and stretch better. Let us go see what you are capable of.” Jal’na picked up her bag and headed down the stairs and to the gym. “Alright let’s start with some stretches and see where you are today.

Half an hour later Sharah was paged to the hospital and Yavia took the opportunity to control the TV.
