    Summary

    "He's tapping his fingers together again. I know what he's thinking. He's thinking what I am thinking. But if either of us is going to say it, it's gotta be him. 'If it came down to it, I would be completely fine with you performing an invasive surgery on me', is something that would take possibly three more near-death experiences and another coma to grant me the resolve to say aloud."

    Summary

    "No," Rocky said later. "Rocky not lie for the history books. If Grace kill self doing stupid shit like this, Rocky make sure everybody Erid know. Rocky build probe to send to Earth to tell all humanity: Dr Grace die from stupid preventable accident. Grace save Earth but turn out too stupid to live. Sad sad sad. Wait, if Grace die like this, Rocky WILL lie and tell everybody he die on toilet like Elvis. Earth will put this on Grace Wikipedia forever, because Grace not around to correct Rocky."

    “Okay,” I said. “I think I’m… appropriately embarrassed already.”

    Summary

    Grace laughs, the bath's level swiftly rising with the addition of so much mass. "I thought this was disgusting, you're going to join me in here?"

    Rocky blurts a huffy sound, taking care as he pulls his remaining limbs into the bath, crouching over Grace's legs. "Inside xenonite suit," he says like he's explaining something very obvious (which he is), "No touching cold, dirty bath. Humans made of water, leaking all day long, then still need to go sit in more water. Crazy." He shivers his torso morosely, sending Grace into a laugh that echoes sharply around the bowl of the tub.

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky set sail for Erid and unpack all their emotional baggage along the way.

    When you're stuck in a tin can for almost four years, it's rarely smooth sailing. But, hey! At least your best friend is there to call you an idiot, and you're almost certainly going to die when you reach your destination!

    Tone, pacing, humor and characterization is excellent. Reads like the book in many ways. Really great relationship development.
