They served together for years before Deanna said anything.

‘It would have been invasive to tell you straight out,’ she said, when Beverly quizzed her. ‘For one thing, you wouldn’t have believed me.’

And Beverly had to agree. She knew that when she fell in love, she was often the last person to know about it. Poor Jack had followed her around for months before before it had hit her, and even then she struggled with the feeling. Beverly was a scientist at heart, and emotion could not be quantified.

By humans, at least.

Beverly smiled, and held Deanna close.
