    Summary

    She definitely doesn’t pull her chair closer when he hooks his hand into the back of his collar and pulls his shirt over his head.

    He lies back down on his bed like a painting, swirls of gold and pink.

    Summary

    He steps into the cell, anxious and eager, expecting to spend a few hours talking to her unresponsive form as usual.

    Instead, he meets ice-pale eyes, and Stratt, looking at him and seeing him for the first time in over twenty-six years.

    The only thing Grace can think is, she's here. He's been back on Earth for months, and only now has he finally met her.
