Karina hadn’t wanted to walk away, but she knew she had to. She felt a pull toward Jewel. It was so easy, so natural. But Karina was wary. She wanted to do it right.

It was difficult to get to sleep, and once she did, she didn’t stay that way long. Her comm beeped an intense warning. There was an emergency at the university. It would take all morning. She wouldn’t get to see Jewel.

When Jewel opened her door that morning. There was a coffee, a pastry, so.e sort of iridescent flower and a note. Beautiful Gem. I hope you slept and your Vairin cat kept you company. There was an emergency at the university. It will take all morning. I hope you will let me see you tonight if only briefly. -Karina

Jewel smiled when she read the note, she had tossed and turned most the night, and from the sounds of it, Karina had to leave in the middle of the night. She would get her some Klingon coffee and some flowers of her own. She sent her a digital message. you are just trying to get out of working out, I know. PS, the cat snuggled up next to my soft skin all night, see you tonight Jewel

Karina smiled at the message on her comm. I think I am jealous of a stuffed cat.

*no need to be, you can touch my skin when I stop by tonight <3 *

Jewel went and completed her work out of the morning, showered, went to work. She had picked her team and now just needed them to agree. Around noon Jewel showed up at her office reception with two dozen red roses, a Klingon coffee. “Scusse Me” her voice in official mode, Is Mis Enger in?” she asked.

Karina’s secretary looked up as Jewel approached. She had a welcoming smile. “I’m sorry, she’s not here. She’s been gone all morning. She’s not expected back today.”

Jewel looked the the woman, apparently she knew who Jewel was, “Oh” she said not masking the disappointment but she had expected it. “Can I leave these with you? Coffee is Klingon, if you want it” she said placing the items on the counter.

“Of course. Would you like to put them in her office yourself. I’m sure she wouldn’t mind,” the woman offered.

Jewel smiled “Thank you” and turned and went back to work,, evening could not come fast enough for her.

It was late, 2 hours past midnight, when Karina returned to her office. Her assistant had long gone home. Karina smelled the roses before she saw them. A faint smile crossed her face as she moved to her desk. A cold Raktajino sat on her desk and a note. She picked up her comm Thank you for the roses. Beauty after a long day.

Karina sat down at her desk to complete the reports that were needed. Her day would be full of meetings with various officials. The destruction of the chemistry building was going to be a disaster. Classes had to be moved, the fire chief had an investigation to finish, students in the hospital, buildings and equipment to replace… it was a nightmare.

She fell asleep at her desk chair.
