"Spock!" McCoy looked up in surprise. "What you doing back here? I cleared you for duty an hour ago."
"I came to acknowledge your attempt to defend my possession of a heart to the Yangs. It was most unexpected."
McCoy dropped his gaze.
"Yeah, well, only I get to call you heartless."
"Yet you are most qualified to testify I do have a heart."
McCoy reached out to Spock's side to feel its beat.
"240 bpm" he commented.
"It is not there," Spock corrected reaching out to touch McCoy's chest. "It is here."
McCoy's eyes shone.
"You old romantic, you."
