"You don't need to apologize, I was rude with asking about your past. It was just that...we were having such fun and I was interested in you, your life and then ofcourse your past. I....I...well if you want to talk about it or are ready to spent more time with me, please let me know ok

"Computer, secure door."
*Morrow enters trying to hold back tears. She goes into her small bathroom and splashes some cold water on her face before drying it with a towel. Grabbing a childhood doll with one discolored limb on it, she climbs into bed and sits silently with only the light of a small lamp, a slight sniffle breaking the silence of the room every few moments.*
*Morrow nods slightly*
"Of course."
*She closes the door and climbs back into bed, staring at the wall infront of her.*
Hedford was walking in his swimmingshorts and had reached the quarters of Taryn. He touched the padd at the rightside of the door and a beep could be heared on the other side of the door. He was hoping that Taryn would let him in.
*Morrow is startled by the doorbell. She knows who it is and is embarassed by the fact that she took off. She stands and opens the door, eyes still welled up and her stained teddybear in hand. She stares at him, still quite soggy from the beach, with poignant eyes.*
"Commodore, apologize for taking off....I...*sighs*...I was just reminded of a very painful past."
