  Using the LAMP model for nuclear quark structure, we calculate the binding
energy and quark structure of a $B$ meson merging with a $D$ meson. The
larger-than-nucleon masses of the two heavy quarks allow for a more reliable
application of the Born-Oppenheimer-like approximation of the LAMP. With the
absence of quark-level Pauli Exclusion Principle repulsive effects, the
appearance of a bound state is unsurprising. Our variational calculation shows
that the molecular, deuteron-like state structure changes rather abruptly, as
the separation between the two mesons decreases, at a separation of about 0.45
fm, into a four-quark bound state, although one maintaining an internal
structure rather than that of a four-quark bag. Unlike the deuteron, pion
exchange does not provide any contribution to the $\approx 150$ MeV binding.
