Jez sat and listened to the opinions and concerns of the other, even though many people remained silent, she wasn’t sure if their silence was due to disgust pity, or a combination of the two. Jez didn’t know any of them well enough to know for certain how they viewed issues like single mothers or domestic abuse.
Doctor Lim said, "Thank you Jez for trusting us enough to share your story with us, you are always allowed to share your feelings here. I feel so sad for you, that you had to endure the abuse you have described. I also want to assure you that we, in this meeting, are in no way here to judge you in any way at all." Jez found that statement a bit particular, but also reassuring.
“Please Doctor Lim, don’t feel sad for me. I made a mistake in judgment; I gave my heart to someone I thought I could trust, someone who I thought loved me, someone who I thought was my Imzadi, but I was wrong. Next time, I will be more cautious of whom I give my heart to, the next man will have to earn my love.” Said Jez, sounding cold and distant as if her heart was locked behind a steel door protected by a forcefield.
Captain Brooks gave a small smile to Jez, "You have nothing to say sorry for, doctors do sometimes get it wrong. We aren't perfect and we can find a solution out of many issues."
Wait a second he said “we” as we doctors, is he confirming that he is a doctor, fascinating.
Jez briefly looked at Doctor Lim and then at Captain Brooks. To Jez Dr, Lim looked like a doctor, she carried herself like a doctor, but Captain Brooks, in her opinion, was more like a father or grandfather. Dr. Lim’s hair and makeup looked flawless, but the Captain needed a shave and a haircut, and his face could use a good moisturizer, at least in Jez’s opinion.
“Dr. Lim, to answer your question. Yes, that will be fine, we can keep my baby on the Aquila until a more permanent and suitable arrangement can be made. As long as the location isn't near Betazed. Also, I’m certain I can keep an eye on the stasis chamber in my quarters, especially if it has a portable power supply. “ Replied Jez, with just a hint of excitement in her voice.
