    Summary

    “Hey! It’s a lot up here, okay? It’s a normal response to stress.” He rubs a hand over his face. “Okay, I cried a lot down there, too. But not in class! Not if I could help it. But having to say goodbye, gosh, I’ve never been good at that.” Grace laughs, but it sounds sad. His mouth is shut firmly, and he leans against my ball. He’s so soft, his body melds to the side of the xenonite with ease. “I can’t imagine what a mess I’ll be when—” he cuts himself off, but I know what was coming next.

    I’m not sure how I’ll be when we say goodbye either. It didn’t seem like it’d matter so much at first, after all, if we part ways, it means we succeeded. I’d be going back to Erid, to Adrian, to home. But I’d be leaving behind Grace. The thought of that is unpleasant. It sinks deep in me; the emotion is painfully familiar. It’s been a long time since I’ve had anyone to mourn losing anyone again. I don’t want to think about it, I’m not ready.

    or 5 times Rocky feels something for Grace. 1 time he does something about it.

    Summary

    “I just think it’s kind of a messed-up thing to do to a baby,” I said.

     

    AKA: the one with time travel. When the opportunity arises, Rocky and Ryland can't turn down the chance to save Rocky's crew.

    It all kind of spirals from there.

    Summary

    Buck did it - he saved Bobby and Chimney from the super virus. In the middle of it all, his senses came online, showing him as a Sentinel.

    Only as a newly booted up grade five Sentinel, things aren't exactly easy on him. He'll need a Guide and learn how to deal with his new senses without zoning every second of the day. If only he didn't feel calmer around Tommy than any Guide he'd met. And on top of it all, his place at the 118 seems to be falling apart as well.

    Things could be easy, but they weren't. For now at least. Who knew what could happen?

    Summary

    I snort. "Yeah, got me there. I'm old, okay? Just give me a second."

    A handful of moments pass. Then, "How old, question?" Rocky asks.

    I open my mouth, and then I realize exactly what I just walked into.

     

    Or: Grace and Rocky and a small conversation about lifespans.
