The Question

Kathryn stared at Seven as if she'd never seen the blonde before. The question hung in the air....between them, around them, within them. Her entire senior staff heard the question, as well as several other crewmembers. She had no choice but to answer. Nowhere to hide. No way to ignore it, even if she wanted to.

She couldn't say she hadn't been expecting it, but she hadn't considered it this way. She debated her reply, thought of what had transpired to bring Seven to ask such a question.

"Kathryn?"

Kathryn had no choice but....

"Yes, Seven, I'll marry you."
