Simon and Kaylee Tam are at a corner booth, with a late dinner.

Concentrating on studying has been ... difficult, over the past few days.

She can't fix everything, and she can't take care of River or Mal or Kitty like she

(should)

wants to, and she can't even necessarily make anything easier for them.

But she can take care of Simon.

Kaylee rests her head against his shoulder for just a moment as they walk.

(What she's feeling now isn't contentment. It isn't anywhere close.

But it's not fear, either. And after the last couple of months -- that's saying a whole hell of a lot.)
