....Ah. I guess I can start with us. Before we came here. You know I had something of a crush for the Director. Hell, I think everybody did. It didn't last long because of the rumor mill and after he nearly died at the Temple. I had pretty much written off having any sort of romantic relationship after that. It was safer. Easier.

We talked about everything until the sun came up. It made me think that maybe I ought to be open to the concept...
