Runaway
@scarredbookworm
Jim moved through the back garden quietly, avoiding being directly in main sight. This wasn’t the first time he had done this, but hopefully it would be the last.
His face throbbed from the beating he had taken earlier from the cadets, but he felt like a fire had finally ignited beneath him. Starfleet had much to offer, no matter how much he hated them.
And Kate hated them too.
But he wanted to take a chance and see if she’d agree to run away with him and join Starfleet. Soon he reached the house, small in size but far from modest, and tossed a small stone at her window like he had done hundreds of times before.
