[ It had been a long several days and York had not been able to allow the events of the week to settle in his mind. He'd watched over Carolina, watched her work out whatever tension was in her body and mind, but he hadn't really been able to contemplate what it meant until he got quiet in bed and tried to settle in.
The fact of the matter was, though neither Carolina nor Tex would speak of it, something had to have happened with Connie. York couldn't begin to guess what it was, but as he turned over in bed and tried to get comfortable, the thought assaulted him suddenly that she was never coming back.
It got late, and Delta's company, though appreciated, just wasn't cutting it. North had seemed to be sympathetic when they'd spoken earlier that evening and York just kept concentrating on it—maybe it would turn out that North needed him. It was a new thought, but it grew in York's consciousness until he couldn't help it anymore—he got up, stealing quietly down the hallway of the living quarters of the ship, and knocked on North's door. ]
