    Summary

    "Hold on, what about Dr. Pepper?" Grace said, refusing to follow with his feet planted, one last excuse why he wouldn't join her to save the world.

    Eva paused. She considered. If that was the only stipulation, she could work with that. "I can get you whatever beverage you like, Dr. Grace."

    Grace grinned for a moment, like he was enjoying a personal joke, then said, "My dog. Dr. Pepper is my dog."

    Summary

    The first time Grace touches her, he doesn’t mean to. His hand brushes against hers in the table, lost in the sea on papers and screens. He apologizes immediately, of course, he is nothing but proper and cautious in his ways. She lets it slide, lost in the moment, paying no attention to it. Nothing is more important than the mission.

    Later at night, she cannot sleep.

    (His hand was warm. His hand was warm and hers was cold and maybe it is a metaphor of something bigger than both of them. Maybe it is a sign, an augury.

    She tries not to dwell too much in the impossibles, after all, she is a pragmatic person. But Ryland Grace makes her a careless woman, a hopeful woman. He makes her someone she is not, someone she must never be.

    And that is how a revelation is born, lost in the mundane.)

    Summary

    "However much she was hurting right now, kissing Grace for what was probably, heartbreakingly, the last time, she couldn’t make herself regret her decision."

    This thing with Grace was the best thing that had happened to Stratt in a long time, so maybe it was only fair the universe balanced it out with the deaths of DuBois and Shapiro. Now she was facing the decision of either severly decreasing Hail Mary's chances of success by sending someone with lacking experience on the mission, or sacrificing Grace. Also, Grace is now in her barrack, and Stratt cannot bring herself to kick him out, for these might very well be their last hours together.
