					NATIMA
			Should I get a doctor?

					QUARK
				(softening)
			That's okay.  Maybe if you rub it a 
			little.

	Natima begins massaging Quark's chest.

					NATIMA
			Oh, Quark... I'm sorry.

					QUARK
			Really?

					NATIMA
			Yes, for everything... all those 
			horrible things I said...

					QUARK
			You really didn't mean them?

					NATIMA
			I love you, Quark.  I've always loved 
			you.  Even when I hated you.

	She leans over a kisses him.  It starts out tentative, but 
	soon both of them get swept away by years of repressed 
	longings.

					QUARK
				(a whisper)
			Natima.

					NATIMA
			I've missed you... I've missed you 
			so much.  Being with you was the 
			happiest time of my life.

					QUARK
			And now we're together again, and we 
			have the rest of our lives to be 
			happy.

	Natima leans her head on Quark's shoulder and almost 
	unconsciously stokes his lobes.  He responds by running his 
	fingers up and down her neck.

					NATIMA
			I wish it was that easy.

					QUARK
			But it can be... if you let it.
