Sometime much later, Dax awoke. Anna had cuddled up with her back to him, and his arms were around her sleeping form. Warmth and security. Lying here with her he was free from an aching anxiety he had not realized he had carried with him. His mind wandered as he lay there, and he noticed his wrist lay across Anna’s small, soft breast. Not moving for fear of waking her, he tried to decipher tactile sensations from the intimate contact. No good. His arm had been there too long. He could not feel a thing.

Suddenly he heard a noise, a scuffle, out in the passageway. It was the noise that had awakened him. He heard Trimble’s cabin door open and a quiet giggle of laughter. Trimble? Dax listened hard and thought he heard another voice, this one low and soft, encouraging and helping someone into the cabin. After a quiet time, the door across the passageway creaked quietly closed. Again there was no sound for a time. Eventually quiet footsteps paced away down the passageway. Was that Fars bringing Trimble back to his cabin? Why would Trimble need help? Before he could puzzle on that too long, Dax fell back asleep.
