Sitting here I begin to wonder, when did I realize I was falling in love with you? Was it the first time I looked deep into your chocolate eyes when you circled me on the bridge? Or was it our second year in the Delta Quadrant? When we were stranded on that plante? New Earth, yes it must have been there.
But at what point in time there? Was it when I realized you were going to make the best of it and build us a home? Was ti the first time I heard you say Kathryn instead of Captain? Was it the bathtub? The look you gave me when you saw me only in that towel? Was it when you offered to rub my neck after a long days work, the feel of your hands on my shoulders? Or better yet, was it when you described in an 'Ancient Legend' that you were in love with me? Was it when I saw the pain in your eyes the morning fable had to leave out little paradise, when I put my 'Captains mask' back in place to keep you from seeing all my pain?
Was it when I saw you cradle my body close to you when we were on that planet and I kept dyeing? Or was it when you spoke at my memorial? Watching you pack my belongings? Seeing you break down after finding the picture of the two of us sitting on the nightstand beside my bed?
Was it the day you told me I was not alone? Maybe it was having you stand up to me when you knew that I would regret what I was doing, proving once again that you were indeed my rock.
What about the day I left with Be'lanna to go aboard the borg ship? The feel of your hand reaching for mine, giving me your support, silently willing me to come back to you safe.
I'm not sure really when I realized I loved you, all I know is that I do. I love you so much it hurts.
Always Yours,
Kathryn
After finishing the letter there was a knock on her door. It opened to revile Tom Paris standing there in dress uniform.
"Are you ready Captain? It's time."
"Yes. I do believe I am" she replied as she stood up and straightened her floor length white dress.
Today she was walking down the isle toward her future, and she had never been more in love than she was right now.
