Dr Lois Lim was in the CMO's office, catching up on medical records after the senior staff meeting in the observation lounge, when a communication from Earth came in for her. It was an old friend and colleague and one time boy friend from Star Fleet Academy
"Lois its so good to see you again, how are you?" Dr Gilchrist asked.
"Henry I'm well and you, are you well, long time no see?" Lois replied with an unusually joyous smile and some flirting with her eyes.
They spoke of old times together as young doctors in their academy days for some minutes until Henry Gilchrist came to the reason for his out of the blue call.
"Lois, I have a position for a medical lecturer at the Academy. Your the first and only one I could think of that would be perfect for the job. Will you come back, to Earth and the Academy, please?"
Lois was shocked, overwhelm even, and for a few second could speak.
"I can't do that Henry, we are just stating a mission, it's very ackward timing, Henry."
"Will you at least think it over, it would be perfect for you and you, I know, would be perfect for the position. AND you know we have unfinished er... we have an unfinished relationship. You promised me that you would one day return to marry me, do you remember?
Lois blushed and in her usual surly voice snaped back, "That is emotional blackmail Henry and you know it." She pause a moment of thought and in a softer tone said. "But its true. Very well I will contact you tomorrow with my final answer. Let me sleep on it."
==The Following Day, after a sleepless night, late in the evening ==
In her quarters Lois put a call through to Dr Henry Gilchrist at his home in San Fransico.
"Henry, Lois Lim!"
'Yes, Lios," Henry immediately replied, "I've been expecting your call. I hope your answer is good news."
"Henry, I didn't think you would wait all this time. We didn't part on good term, remember. " Lois said, I wanted a career first to show up my father! .
"Yes, Lois, I remember and I have not stopped thinking about you since. But its not for that reason i'm asking you... er well it is for that reason, as well as, you are the best person for the job. Please say yes.
"Yes, Henry, I accept your offer and for any thing else that may or may come about. It will take me more that week to get back to earth, I've missed you Henry. It was because of my stubbeness that I left, and I was a little scared but I will coming back. ."
The next day she made an appointment to meet with Captain Brooks and advise him of the offer and of his decision to leave, to take up the training post at the Academy and that a formal notice of transfer was on the way.
