<strong>Susan Cochrane<br/>On Emily's boat<br/>With Emily and Mari</strong><br/><br/>Susan bent low over Emily, not touching her, just watching and listening to the sleeping woman's breathing.  She nodded slightly and stepped back, closer to Mari.  Closer than she needed to, perhaps.<br/><br/>"She's asleep.  A real sleep, not diving into a coma."  The Medic carefully stowed her her bags on a rack.  And having nothing else to do, she turned bck to Mari.  Who was still very very close.  Close enough for Susan to feel her body heat.  But than may have been her imagination.  Or her hope.<br/><br/>"So.  Now what?"
