    Summary

    She opened her mouth to protest, but Colt cut her off. “The guy you fell in love with died in a horrific accident. I’m what’s left,” he scoffed, pointing at the door. “If you don’t like it, you can leave. There’s the door.”

    "I know that’s not true because he’s standing right in front of me-” she gestured towards him- “and I wish he’d let me help him instead of trying to force me away. And I don’t know why he’s being so stubborn about it.”

    Colt leaned back, his hair falling over his eyes. He’d been letting it grow out since the accident, refusing Jody’s offers to help him cut it. She couldn’t tell if he liked it like that or if it was just another symbol of him trying to separate himself from who he was before the fall. Define his life into two distinct parts, a before and after.

    Jody had a sinking feeling that the “after” wasn’t meant to include her.

     

    Or-

     

    After a three year "fling" Jody is left to spiral. A few bad decisions, less than stellar dates, and pilates classes, she's found herself fulfilling a childhood dream: directing a Hollywood blockbuster that doubles as a billion-dollar middle finger to her ex-boyfriend: MetalStorm

    Summary

    Grace, question?

    His tone is patient, the chords of his words simplified so that I can definitely understand him without my laptop-translator-rig. See, he’s just considerate like that.

    No one in all the Earth Sci-Fi stories and movies tells you that the aliens will be kind.

    Another tap of his arm. Sad thoughts?

    “Sad thoughts.” I concede. No point lying to someone who can hear your heartbeat.

    Hm.

    I’m proud of myself for identifying the note as a thinking sound, a filler word. I gotta say, my foray into exolinguistics has been an excellent distraction from the general misery that is my now-mostly-remembered-life.

    Do you want to talk about it?

    Some overdue conversations . Time spent together on the way back to Erid re-opens some old (and some fresh) wounds.
