Summary: "There are worse things waiting for men than death." - Author's Note: Written for the trek100 "waiting" livejournal challenge. ----------------------------------------------- He loved her the moment he saw her. She was standing in the doorway to the bar, her red hair streaked with blonde, a halo of ice and fire around her face. His heart stopped -- for only an instant -- and he knew he'd been waiting for her all his life. Sitting around the table with Jack and Beverly, he wondered if Jack knew. Jean-Luc could feel the attraction: the way she jumped imperceptibly when his leg accidentally brushed hers, or when their eyes met and held for just a second too long. Jack may have been oblivious, but she wasn't. -- Stephen Ratliff ASC Awards Tech Support http://www.trekiverse.us/ASCAwards/commenting/ No Tribbles were harmed in the running of these Awards ASCL is a stories-only list, no discussion.
