“What a day.” Was all Jay could say as he walked into his quarters.
It actually had not been very bad day in Sick Bay, it was steady, but not too bad. He had done more physicals that he could remember doing in any one day, but it was that tie of the year and everyone had to have there yearly physical.
He took off his shirt and threw it on his bed as he did after every shift. He moved quickly to his dresser and pulled out an old t-shirt and quickly pulled it on. He just couldn’t start to relax until he was out of his uniform.
As he turned, he saw an indication of the PADD lying on his desk that there was a message waiting. That was a bit of surprise. He didn’t get incoming messages often. He wondered who it could be. Maybe it was a colleague wanting his opinion on something or maybe it was news that he had been promoted all the way to admiral, he chuckled. He picked up the PADD and activated the screen.
On the screen was the Raina. He had not talked to her in at least two months even though he loved her like a sister, they just hadn’t had the chance lately to talk.
“Jay,” she started, “I just wanted to drop you a line and see how you were doing today, it has been a little rough for me and I know it is hard for you too. Just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you. You know, we really should talk soon.” And the message ended.
“Well as usual Raina you are right, today has been hard for me.” He thought to himself.
He glanced up and the picture on the desk of he, Nathan, and Raina on the day they had graduated from The Academy. He then reached into a drawer and pulled out a bottle of his favorite 20 year old Scotch and headed out the door toward the lounge.
