Kathryn's POV
What's a girl to do? I have had so many failed relationships. I lost my dad and fiancé at the same time, Mark moved on. If I tell him how I feel it might go down the drain.
He makes me laugh. It is never a dull day on the bridge when he is there. His holodeck programs are the best on the ship.
Sure Chakotay liked me, but I made it clear that I could not have a relationship past friends. That should be the same with all my crew, but with him I would break that rule.
Threshold was a different experience. I gave that comment when I really wanted him to hold me and never let me go. I still wonder if we should have brought those kids on board.
He tries to make me laugh when I am felling down and I appreciate it. I can whip him at pool, but he keeps trying to win the title back. Maybe he should go first instead of me.
We come from similar backgrounds. He is the only one on this ship who truly knows what being a captain is like. He is a Starfleet brat and so am I.
When we have tea together I sometimes tell him things that I don't tell Chakotay. I am starting to understand him better, but he could never love me.
I think he is starting to date B'Elanna. I will always have a space in my heart for his smile and himself, Tom Paris.
