DEEP SPACE NINE: "Change of Heart" - REV. 1/9/98 - ACT FIVE    54.

64   CLOSE ON DAX'S HAND

	as it suddenly tightens around Worf's hand.

65   RESUME

	As Dax slowly wakes up and looks up at her husband.

					DAX
			Hey... I know you...

					WORF
			We've met.

	She manages a weak smile and looks around.

					DAX 
			You're joking again... that must 
			be a good sign. Did you... make 
			the rendezvous?

					WORF
			No.
				(beat) 
			I couldn't leave you there. Not 
			for Lasaran or the mission or 
			anything else.

					DAX 
			Lasaran?

					WORF 
			Dead.

	There's a beat as Dax takes that in -- she's sad and 
	touched at the same time.

					DAX
			Are you in trouble?

					WORF
				(shrugs it off) 
			I've been in trouble before.

					DAX
			I'm so sorry. I should've kept 
			going...

					WORF
			You have nothing to be sorry about.
