After their last meeting, Nyota had tried her utmost to talk herself out of ever seeing Jim again. Then she'd spent just as much time trying to talk herself into keeping their agreement.

Jim had had better days on the job. He still hadn't made up his mind if the fed life was the one for him, or if he was a con man through and through. He liked to keep people on their toes, to keep them guessing as to where his loyalty lie, and it was fun most of the time ( ... )

"I know," she replied, feeling another stab of guilt that she'd considered trying to hide from him again, even if it was for his own good.

"He did. I told him I was your friend, but I think he only believed me when I refused to give him my name." The less Pike or anyone else knew, the better.

She knew this meeting would be tense, but the more she looked at him, the more it seemed like something wasn't quite right. Something besides her presence. "Are you okay?"
