    Summary

    Getting up is painful. Especially after having the air knocked out of his lungs.

    He spares a glance at Dustin, who seems to be sitting up already. He’s okay, then. Didn’t hurt himself with the fall. Good. That’s good. That’s all the concern he can spare at the moment.

    “I’m done,” he repeats, choking around his emotions as he storms away.

    Summary

    “I don’t expect you to apologize to me, you know?”

    They had ordered their food, coffee mugs steaming in front of them, but still sitting untouched. The air was thick between them, filled with tension pulled as taut as a rubber band.

    “Good.” Stratt’s eyes were hard, face cold as a stone, but Grace was pretty sure he saw her lips twitch, like she was thinking about smiling. Maybe.

    Expectedly, she did not.

     

    (Grace sees Stratt for the first time since his return to Earth. They talk about nothing and everything.)
