100 Words – Continuation

Jim staggered into his quarters, unshed and unwelcome tears stinging his eyes.

What had he expected? An undying declaration of love from his coldly reserved Vulcan first officer. Spock had been with Uhura for years and they’d never made a complete commitment. Or at least Spock had not. Jim figured Uhura wanted to and that’s why it had ended.

Maybe Spock just didn’t want anyone. Perhaps he had no romantic interest in any human. Jim could certainly tell himself that to make him feel better.

And yet he felt not better at all.

His door chimed. Jim turned to it.

    I am loving these tiny snippets of the story! You pack so much emotion in so few words. I’m hanging on each word. Who’s at the door??
    So good.

    Couldn’t you just make this “100 plus” words and have Spock enter and make an appropriately Vulcan declaration of devotion to Jim? Sigh! You’re killing me here. Lol!

    But honestly, will you add to this? I hope that you do!
