Second part, I put it up right away because I'm off ill and have nothing
better to do with my time.
Disclaimer: Voyager and her characters aren't mine (except for Ensign Cassie Davis)
Spoilers: Only Resolutions a bit, but that's really early.

He'd seen her come in. He was sitting in the corner talking to Cassie, but he was staring at his Captain. He saw her break her gaze and sit down to read a PADD. She looked so beautiful, so distant. He knew that she wasn't reading, he'd watched her for long enough over the years to know that. He'd analysed her moods, her movements, her expressions.
They hadn't been speaking much in the last few days, since her birthday when he'd given her the necklace he'd designed, a heart. Before that they'd seemed to be getting on better than they had for a while, they'd more relaxed, talking more often and getting closer. After the present she'd started to avoid him again, not speaking to him unless it was about work and even then she'd sounded so professional. He knew that he'd compromised their delicate relationship.
He turned back to Cassie, she was pretty, smart, kind, and she had been flirting with him for weeks, but she wasn't Kathryn. He liked her though, maybe that was enough, it was time he forgot about Kathryn, she was the Captain, nothing could happen between them, not like on New Earth.
He tried to concentrate on what Cassie was saying, something about B'Elanna, she asked his opinion. He took her hand and stroked it gently with his thumb to cover up the fact he hadn't been listening.
She had such small hands, with soft white skin, like Kathryn's. He forced himself to suppress that thought and looked up at Cassie.
This wasn't going to work.
************************************************************************ 3rd part will be up very soon, I've practically written it already, just need to type it up.
