Dr. Crusher walked into Dr. Dalen Quaice's quarters and was reassured by the sight of him sitting in a chair. She ran over and gave him a hug. "Oh, it's so good to see you!"
Dr. Quaice smiled in her embrace. "We thought we had lost you," he said.
Beverly pulled back from the hug and grasped her mentor's shoulders. She smiled, with tears in her eyes. "I'm so glad to be back," she said. "I'll try to spend as much time with you as I can, as long as you're on the ship."
"Don't stress yourself on my account," Dr. Quaice implored.
"Oh, nothing could compare to the stress I experienced in the warp bubble," Crusher said, shaking her head. "But thank you for your concern, as always."
