Dear Kathryn
By Rocky
The PADD lay nearby. Janeway had already read Mark's letter enough times
to know it by heart. He'd spelled out what the last four years had been like:
fear, denial, grief--and finally, acceptance.
He'd gone on with his life. It was inevitable, yet she was surprised how
much it hurt. She railed at the mention of his marriage--was this what she
needed to hear, 60,000 light years away?
Later, she'd be glad he'd found someone to love, and would realize he'd set
her free to do the same.
Now, she mourned the loss of what might have been.
