Author's Notes: This series all started when Sandi read my first
story, "A Letter" and wanted me to do a sequel. Well then it grew from
there into a series. I hope you enjoy it.  Thanks to Sandi for beta
reading it for me.

Feedback of all kind is welcomed, but flames will be used to light my
cigarette.

Dear Deanna,


Just wanted you to know, I did as you instructed me to do. I finally
told Jean-Luc about my feelings.

Okay, so I didn't do it face to face, but I was able to *write* them
down and he did receive the letter. The response really wasn't what I
was expecting. I had myself believing that I'd waited to long and that
he didn't have the same feelings in him anymore.

I should have known better! If he can love me for over 25 years,
what's a few more years, right?

He asked me to meet him at Star base 212 and I did. We had dinner and
danced. Can you believe it? Actually, we danced for several hours,
that was the real surprise. We did manage to do some talking. We
argued and we both shed more than a few tears but we finally cleared
the air and laid it all out on the table. We both love each other and
there is nothing or no one, not even ourselves, that is going to stop
it.

Deanna, I'm so happy. I can't believe I wasted all that time, when I
could have been happy so long ago. I know I'm stubborn and I know I
deserve to be unhappy after the way I treated him, but if that's what
I had to go through for these last few days, it was WELL worth it.

We are going to spend the next couple of weeks here on the star base
and we are going to use that time to get to know each other again. I
really want to thank you for pushing me, nagging me, and for finally
not taking 'no' for an answer.  You're a great friend! If it weren't
for you, I would be sitting on the bridge of my ship, a sad and lonely
woman.

I hope you and Will are enjoying your time in Alaska and I can't wait
to see you in two weeks. Your wedding is going to be the best. You are
marrying a good man!

I've got to go now, Jean-Luc's back with dinner. Take care!


Sincerely,

Beverly


PS - He asked me to marry him and I told him I'd have to think about
it. What do you think?
