Nicole looked out at the stars knowing that Dr. Maya Coren had returned to the USS Florence Nightinggale and the care of Dr. Starlight Greene. Maya had spent last night in her arms in a lovemaking exercise that had brought back Nicole's feelings of love.
She had thought that love was lost when Orchid was stolen from her a third time. She had thought that love could never be what it was between her and Magic; Dr. Magenta Coren.
She thought she could be happy with feverish sex with Dr. Winter Coren but seeing Winter leave with the marine showed Nicole that she could not be happy with casual sex. It did not fill her heart in the way she needed it to be filled.
Nicole looked up at the stars knowing that somewhere out there Legate Anwar and the Cardassians were plotting to take her, the King's Fleet and her colony down and that threat put her new found love, Dr. Maya Coren in grave danger aboard the 'Gale.
She looked up at the beautiful Bajoran moon and hoped that the moon could deliver a message to her love. She could not believe that in an era of highly sophisticated Comm-links that she was relying on the moon to deliver her message of love. She stood there talking to the moon.
