Faye's Quarters- Star-Crossed Lovers

Posted April 29, 2021, 4:23 p.m. by Lieutenant Faye Calloway (Mission Specialist) (Lindsay B)

Brushing out her hair, it fell in its natural waves. Everything felt so intense right now, so even the act of pulling the bristles through the strands of hair was triggering memories. Breathing, Faye let them surface, and much like she did when practicing yoga, she acknowledged them and set them gently to the side. She could deal with those later. They would not help right now.

Still in the galaxy leggings and oversized chunky knit sweater, Faye padded through her quarters, settling in at her desk. Long and graceful fingers tapped the desktop as she worked up the courage to call. And courage it would take. Regardless of how this went, there was no scenario in which looking the man she had intense feelings for in the eyes and telling him about the man he reminded her of was in anyway going to be easy. Regardless of how they could spin Kodell and his affections, there was a part of Faye that understood the unevenness of their relationship. And she had been off balance in every relationship since, desperate to keep from being alone or pushing people away so they never got that close. One or the other. Nothing in between.

She didn’t want that here. And that difference was exceptionally important to her. It marked a new chapter where Faye felt that she deserved better and accepted nothing less. What that looked like though was a mystery. But she suspected, at least at this point in her life, that it looked a lot like the former Chief of Operations who had very quickly glimpsed her soul and never her wanting.

It terrified her.

But she promised Alex and knew this to be necessary. So, setting up the usual encryption, she sent a ping to his computer with a simple message. ||Call me when you are free. I’ll stay up as long as it takes. ~Faye||

She hit send and waited, grabbing a cup of coffee. Normally she wouldn’t disrupt her sleep with caffeine at this hour (especially given her meds), but Faye expcted this was going to be a long night.
