Taking On Responsibility Stardate 2258.29+

Kirk could see that Scarlett was very interested in what Spock had to say. And he decided to see where this went. “Well Spock. I will leave you to your own judgements. “Then I think whatever comes from I and Scarlett’s relationship, it won’t affect her ability to do her duty. Nor
Mine Captain,” Spock said.

“What about you Scarlett?” Kirk asked.

Scarlett didn't look at Spock again. She looked at Captain Kirk instead. "My feelings for Spock are...less complicated. However, nothing will affect my ability to do my duty and to do it well."

“Well then, the job is yours Lt. Wright,” Kirk said then stood. “We won’t be leaving for a couple of days yet. You can give Me your answer then,” he said then extended his hand to her. He shook it then waited as they departed. Outside the room Spock turned to Scarlett.

“You’re upset with me. I’m not certain what it is that you want from me Scarlett. But K do care about you. And I am... pleased that you are here,” he said.

Scarlett already knew her answer, but she decided to think it over anyway. She stood and shook Kirk's hand and then she and Spock departed the room. Outside the room, Spock stopped and turned to face her. She sighed a little at what he said and looked at him.

"All I want...all I've ever wanted is for you to voice, even just once, your feelings for me. I understand that it's difficult for you to do such a thing, but nothing worth having is ever easy Spock. I wanted....I wanted more for us. You know how I feel...how I've always felt. We were parted, but now we have a second chance. You need to figure out if you're willing to take it." She turned and then walked away and left the ship.
