Daddy came home late that night. I could hear him whispering to Telnia, asking if I had acted upset or anything. I couldn’t hear what Telnia said, but Daddy kept saying “good” over and over. I heard him moving around our living quarters after Telnia left and knew he would come in to check on me. I kept my eyes closed and didn’t move when he pushed the door open. Daddy and I usually like to eat a snack together when he gets home, and I knew he would be disappointed if I was asleep.

But I didn’t want to be up with Daddy tonight. I didn’t want to talk about what had happened at dinner. And I didn’t want to hear about B’Elanna—B’Elanna who was an engineer—B’Elanna who smelled like Mommy.

When the door closed I opened my eyes and stared into the dark for a long time, missing Mommy.
