Lenara stretched out across the bed. Soon enough, she'd have
to leave the warmth of the bed, to go back to her work. Work
doesn't keep one warm at night, and research won't listen to
your personal problems.

At least her brother let her indulge herself when she got
home. Bejal understood her needs. She knew he wanted her to
carry on with her life, to find another to fall in love with
so deeply it hurt. Right now, no. She still couldn't give up
the past that easily.

He kept her secret from the Symbiosis Commission, knowing
only time could heal what wounds she suffered. The
Commission would take away her symbiote if she were found out,
killing her. She knew she'd be considered an unfit host, but
she just needed some time to let go, to chase away the
ghosts that haunted her.

She got up, kissed both a sleeping Jadzia and Torias before
she left them both for the day. "Computer, end program."

She heard the door hiss behind her as she started another
broken day.
