    Summary

    Twenty-six years after leaving Earth aboard the Hail Mary, Ryland Grace is helping the Eridians repair his ship when he discovers a hidden metal box tucked behind a maintenance panel. Inside are six sealed letters, all written in Eva Stratt's unmistakable hand.

    As Grace reads through the correspondence one letter at a time, he uncovers a side of Stratt she never allowed anyone to see. What begins as professional reassurance slowly evolves into something far more intimate, forcing Grace to reconsider the relationship they thought they understood. Across light-years of distance and decades of separation, a conversation unfolds between two people who never found the right words when they still had the chance.

    Summary

    She turned around to him. Standing there in a lab coat and another ugly T-shirt, he was in a similar state to her, apparently—shifting from foot to foot, unable to keep still; his hair stuck up in all directions, as if he'd been running his hands through it (and she stubbornly ignored the awful urge in her to reach out and fix it—it was a symptom of the last few days, nothing more); he wrung his hands together and avoided meeting her eye. God, what was up with him?

    Grace has some bad news for Stratt. It doesn't go down well.

    Summary

    It's not jealousy. Adrian is adamant about that. They are actually insisting that it’s not any emotion at all. Not even dislike. They are simply completely uninterested in anything that concerns “the human”. 

    Rocky believes them. Adrian has always been the level-headed one out of the two of them. They are too logical to be jealous. They acknowledge that Grace and Rocky have a special bond after everything they went through together and also understand that none of that will ever pose a threat to their relationship. 

    Neither are they heartless or ungrateful. They know that Grace is the only reason that Rocky is back at all, the only reason their star has stopped dying. Adrian has told Rocky again and again that they are grateful and happy and wish the alien no ill will. They even helped with the construction of the biodome.

    And yet they have no desire to get to know Grace. 

    **************

    You know those videos where the dad is like "You may keep the cat but I will have nothing to do with it" and a few days later they are smothering the kitty with cuddles and love?

    Adrian never stood a chance.
