After my first night of bliss in quite a long time, I open my eyes and see Rose staring back at me and smiling. "Good morning." she says. I say "hi" to her. "What time..is it?' I ask. "0630.." I sit up on the edge of the bed.. "I have a..rehab treatment... at 0700, wanna.. come... with...me?" 'Sure" she says. I grab a ration pack and eat it. "Hey, what about me?" Rose asks. "You had..your fill... last night." She throws a pillow at me. "You know what I mean. Toss one of those over here." I do so hitting her square on the forehead. She lets out an "OW!!!" I laugh to myself. We finish our breakfast. We both turbowash and put on uniforms. I grab my cane in one hand and grab Rose's hand in the other.
We arrive at the rehab center where I've been coming for over 3 yarhens. Doctor Brahms, my physical therapist comes out. "Ahh Hawke, glad you're here. Please sit down." I introduce Rose. I look curiously at Dr. Brahms. "You have been coming along rather well in the treatments we have been giving you. We want to go to the next plateau. We want to introduce more vigorous excersises. More physical laborious activities. Also, I want you to start spending more time in the simulators as your duties allow. I think that you need to work on hand-eye coordination. What do you think about that?" I was shocked!! This is the opening I had been hoping for. All I could say is "Yes..Absolutely." with as big a grin on my face as i could manage.

Rose smiled as she looked over at Hawke, with the slightly goofy looking grin on his face at that moment. His smile may be a bit off kilter so to speak, but Rose still loved him, for he was attempting to smile at least even if it was hard for him at that moment. Rose knew that he had been hoping for the chance to one day be able to fly once more out in open space in a viper again.
Rose leaned over close to Hawke and lightly kissed him on the cheek and when she pulled back just slightly, Rose could see him starting to blush a little. "Now don't worry Hawke," Rose softly said. "I'm not going to embarrass you to much here right now in front of Dr Brahms. He knows as well as anyone that each person needs all the support that they can get when going through any sort of treatment to recover from an injury or illness." Rose couldn't help but giggle a little as she saw the look on Hawke's face right then. "Besides now, I get to see about arranging some of my time in the simulators to when you will be there so that can make sure you are doing all that you can to improve that hand-eye coordination of yours among other things," Rose said with a sly smile.
