I tried everything I could think of, but I couldn't get the letters out of my mind. Sure Micheal had written me love notes before, but never letters, and he never spoke of the future, while we had planned to spend the rest of our lives together, we were young and it was not something we often spoke of. I was thinking over all of this while at the replimat.
"Something on your mind ?" asked Colonel Kira as she took the seat opposite me.
A little startled to have someone speaking to me I looked up up questioningly.
"That's your third raktajino that I've seen you drink today." She stated.
"I didn't sleep very well last night" I replied quietly.
"So I repeat my question, something on your mind".
"Have you ever lost someone you loved Colonel," seeing the slightly uncomfortable look on her face I quickly said "Sorry that was a personal question".
"No its all right, I lost many friends during The Occupation" she replied.
"I don't mean a friend" I started "I mean someone closer than that".
"I did once, he was very special to me, why" she asked.
"I lost my husband, but I just discovered that he left some letters and a message for me. I had no idea".
"Have you read them" she asked.
"I tried but… its been eight years it shouldn't feel like this" I said.
Kira looked at me with concern and said "If there's anything I know about love is if you truly felt it the hurt never completely goes away, you will always carry them with you, but a note or message can help heal the scars".
I looked at her and saw that she truly felt what she as saying was true.
"Read the letters and listen to the message" she said as she got up to leave.
"Thanks Colonel" I said.
"Call me Nerys" she said.
"Kaddy " I replied before getting up myself and going back to my quarters determined to read the letters and watch the message, after all I was a doctor I knew the importance of healing scars.
