Kathryn looked at Chakotay as Neelix's little ship departed Voyager for good.

"They loved each other, you know."

"What?" her First Officer asked.

She looked back to where Tuvok was standing, looking as if his Vulcan composure was suddenly hard to maintain. "Those two," she said simply. "They loved each other."

"They never showed it..."

"They couldn't. It wasn't appropriate to their positions."

A moment's silence. And, then-

"Talking of positions, I wonder how..."

"Don't even go there," she said, shaking her head.

"Not even with you?" he smirked.

"Well... maybe." She sighed, and traced his tattoo lightly. "One day."
