Kathryn sits up in bed. She holds her breath as Chakotay turns over in
his sleep. He does not wake but it is a moment before she breaths 
again.

She pulls her boots on quietly. She has done this twelve times,
dressed in darkness. She has told herself twelve times that she will 
not come back.

She is not even sure he is sleeping. Maybe he is closing his eyes
until she goes.

She plays her part and tiptoes to the door.

He speaks. "Did you ever think it would be like this?"

"Not once," she replies, without looking back.
