Lt. Commander K'Lara sat alone in the Mess Hall. She was staring at a data PADD, but she was not really seeing anything. All she could see was her fiance going to his quarters with another woman, a Lt. Tomme to be exact. K'Lara had went to her quarters last night and tore it apart. Nothing was left to throw, except data PADDs. She couldn't afford to break them, so luckily her anger had died down by then. She had collapsed in an exhausted heap on her bed where she fell asleep.
Damn him, K'Lara thought angrily.
It had hurt to see the man she loved with someone else. She had requested the day off so that she could catch up on her pre-natal exams. She had gotten behind on them and her most recent was weeks ago after their war with the Dominion. She had some reports to catch up on as well. She could have done those while she was confined to quarters, but she was so angry with Maruu at the time that she forgot. Now, she was angry with someone else. Someone she loved enough to marry.
"Damn him! K'Lara screamed in her mind. She slammed her fist down on the table hard enough to get the other diners' attentions. Some turned away while another grew curious enough to approach her.
"Is something wrong, K'Lara?" Dr. Dana Nori asked.
K'Lara looked up to see the doctor staring at her with a concerned expression on her face. K'Lara sighed and nodded.
"I thought so," Nori said as she sat down across from K'Lara. "Want to tell me what about?"
K'Lara shook her head, "It'll only make things worse."
"How much worse?"
K'Lara looked at the doctor and sighed, "Worse enough for you to approach him and cause a chain reaction that just gets out of control. I don't want that. We're out here all alone and we don't need to be enemies with our own crewmembers."
Nori began to understand what K'Lara was talking about. "It's Jon, isn't it?"
K'Lara only nodded to which Nori sighed.
"You had another fight?"
K'Lara's eyes turned red, "Not, yet, but there's going to be one. If I have anything to do about it. I'll make him pay for sleeping with another woman."
Dr. Nori sat down and began to comfort K'Lara when Lataro walked calmly through the door. Uh oh. There's going to be trouble now.
