Summary
He's definitely hovering, but I don't mind. I've complained enough to him about having to become a pilot, an engineer, and an EVA specialist on the fly. It's sweet that he wants to help. (I get to go home, because he wants to help.)

Grace is walking on air (or, well, not-air). Rocky watches from the ground.

Summary
I’m safe. I know this. As foreign as it feels to give myself credit, I know I helped save Erid, and that every sentient being on the planet knows it too.
And yet, something small and primitive in me can’t fight the brief flash of fear that zips through me when Adrian skids to a halt before me and I am forced to look up at them.
For a moment, they just stand there. I am reminded of the first time I saw Rocky, atavistic horror battling with fascination, coming together in a trembling awe. I feel no different looking at Adrian than I felt looking at Adrian, a vast expanse of green before me, knowing I am the first human to ever witness it, finding beauty in it as much as knowing it could spell my doom under the right circumstances. The light of my dome shines down on them, casting a dozen towering shadows over me.
“Hi,” I manage, forcing myself to swallow through a dry throat. If this is who Rocky chose to spend his life with, they’re cool. They have to be.

Or: Rocky introduces the two people he loves most.

Summary
I never noticed. There are no mirrors in my house; there are no mirrors anywhere on Erid, at least not in the sense that we understand them. There’s reflective surfaces, but not intentionally so. My attention has been tugged this way and that, always something new to discover, or else something new to research in the endless encyclopedia I was left with. I had no reason to look at my own body beyond what was necessary to keep it clean.
But now I’m sitting here, and it stares me in the face. Emphasized by my position, my stomach rises up and over my waistband, forming a soft mass that spills slightly over my sides.
“Oh,” I say out loud. I run a hand over this new pudge that probably isn’t new at all, startling slightly at the texture of it. Soft. Yielding. Slightly cold from the water evaporating on it. I touch my body like it isn’t my own, because for a long, long time, it wasn’t. I touch it the way Rocky touched me once he finally had the option to, committing everything to memory, matching it to what he already knew.
/////
Or: In the two years that he spent on Erid, Grace has changed in just about every way imaginable. But one way in particular feels more significant than the rest.

Summary
My arm hangs limply by my side as Rocky takes my hand into his, examining it closely. He pulls my fingers apart, then wraps his hand around each of them, one after the other.
“What’chu doing, bud?”
He looks up at me, making a noise that I recognize as an idea brewing in his brain. “I will make rings,” he says.
“What?” I ask. And again, as my brain truly catches up with the meaning of what he’s said: “Wait, sorry, what?”
Rocky releases my hand, straightening like a man on a mission. “You say rings mean staying together forever. I make rings for us. So we stay together. Like last-finger-promise.”
/////
Or: Rocky learns about the tradition of giving a ring to the person you love. So naturally, that’s what he’s going to do.
