It has been one year. One year since Melissa Archer, has seen her husband, Jonathan Archer, Captain of the USS Enterprise. She wonders wonders if him and his fellow crewmates are alright. She looks over at her and Jonathan's wedding photo, taken on their wedding day in April 2150. Melissa wore a peach colored lace and chiffon sweetheart strapless neckline dress, with her dark chocolate brown locks up in a princess style hairstyle. Her eyes are a gorgeous emerald green, and her skin is like a fair/golden tannish shade. Her beloved is wearing his Starfleet uniform, with one arm wrapped around her waist, and one of her arms around his, with her red and pink rose boquet in her hand.

She then thinks of what would happen if he was to be killed or how long he was gone. Melissa then remembers the lyrics to a song by 20th century country singer Randy Travis, which is called My Greatest Fear. She thinks of the lyrics as she stands in front of the large bag window of her home, as her hair is down, aand she's wearing her longsleeve nightgown.

Sometimes many miles may lay between us

But only for the job I choose to do

And one thought helps me through my darkest hour

Each mile brings me closer to you

Please believe you're all I ever wanted

If you should leave, I don't know what I'd do

I'd be like a child afraid of darkness

The greatest fear I have is losing you

Heaven knows I've always had these demons

Watching for a place to take control

Whispering you'll never be there for me

Waiting at the end of my road

Please believe you're all I ever wanted

If you should leave, I don't know what I'd do

I'd be like a child afraid of darkness

The greatest fear I have is losing you

Alone I wonder through this world, no meaning in my life

And I found you and finally saw the light

So please believe you're all I ever wanted

If you should leave I don't know what I'd do

I'd be like a child afraid of darkness

The greatest fear I have is losing you

The greatest fear I have is losing you

"Oh, Jon. I miss you so much. Please be safe my love and come home to me. Come home safe." Melissa says as she rubs her hands over her arms, to keep warm, as she stares up at the San Francisco night sky.
