~Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!~ Gina ran from the picnic blanket, blindly. Tears falling....~I should have KNOWN! .....Crystal~ Gina's heart all but sank into the ground as her feet carried her farther away. ~I read those 2 journal entries...a love of MANY Lifetimes. He was ready to THROW AWAY a reality to HAVE HER! Who am I?~ Finally Gina stopped...sat down on a boulder nearby and cried until the tears wouldn't come anymore. She replayed the scene and the dialogue along in her mind over and over. Had she heard Geoff calling after her when she ran? She didn't KNOW and at the moment she didn't CARE, but she did know she was STILL hungry herself and had ran out on HER dinner as well as his. +Lovisa TR2 Chief+ One to beam up...+She had tapped her COMM badge. +"ER....could I ask a favor Chief?"+ +Anderson+ What would that be Ms Anderson? +TR2 Chief+ Would you beam me DIRECTLY to my quarters? Please?! I am not feeling so well that the walk...I couldn't make it. +Anderson+ Are you sure Sickbay wouldn't be the BEST destination in THAT case? +TR2 Chief+ It isn't THAT bad...I just need to REST and the LESS effort it takes to get to MY OWN bed. PLEASE!? + Gina did her BEST to keep the tears from falling anew... +Anderson+ Alright....since we aren't on ALERT anymore. Gina shimmered into her own quarters and RUSHED to get shed of the miserable loneliness she felt. There was merit in being hedonistically INDULGENT in her present condition. A water shower while they were still in orbit around a planet that could aid in resupply seemed like a good idea. She put her uniform in the recycler, before she had realized it. Geoff's scent had lingered on it. When her emotions began to overwhelm her, Gina tossed the red scant and grabbed her big FUZZZY pink robe. The height of Professionalism ON DUTY....the EPITAMY of GIRLY IN PRIVATE and ESPECIALLY when she was hurt, Gina donned her bunny slippers and went to the deep freezer in the kitchen in search of solace. Cherry Chocolate Chip is what she settled on. Foregoing a bowl...THIS called for the ENTIRE CONTAINER! She popped the lid and left it on the counter. Grabbing a spoon from the drawer, Gina dipped it into the pink ice cream. She savored the cold and the sweet hoping healing would come soon. One bite wasn't going to do it. So she went in and nestled on the couch, pulling the robe MORE closely around her. It being contrastingly WARM to the cold of the Ice Cream she had chosen as dinner when she wasn't going to be supping on pizza. ~"Fool!"~she thought as she languished on the couch, the handle end of the spoon hanging out of her mouth, the ice cream melting against her tongue as she hunted for something to read. "No romance novels tonight! I took TOO MUCH of those to HEART and WHERE did it get me?!" She pulled the spoon out of her mouth, renewed the supply of cherry chocolate chip and replaced it as it had been, spoon inverted, ice cream against her tongue. "And emulating that Argellian flatback rabbit and her Klingon humptarg! What would Grandmother think of me!" Gina's thoughts spun downward. "I should have TOLD Geoff...*I'm the marrying kind* his mother could have warned him about." Guilt drove Gina BACK to the freezer.......Thalian Chocolate Mousse..... "No problem is TOO BIG for Chocolate!" The morning found Gina Anderson in Sickbay afterall, for a bit of something to cut the Hyperall Glucosian Syndrome in a HURRY. Duty called.
