Summary
"I didn’t plan on leaving, as I just told you. I planned the opposite. But Jean-Luc, there were consequences that we didn’t see coming. There was no time for us to sit and think about the fact that we had just fallen into bed together. I thought, for a fleeting moment among the chaos, that we would pretend it never happened. But consequences have a way of finding a path to you no matter where you may be. I made the choice to leave because I wanted to spare you of these consequences."
A year after being aboard the Enterprise, Beverly makes an abrupt decision to leave the ship and take a temporary posting at Starfleet Medical Headquarters. Speculation as to why she has left is tossed around, but in a series of letters to Jean-Luc, she explains the truth… and the secret that sent her running.
