   Summary

   Ryland Grace accepted as he orbited Erid that he would be the only human and while he was quite happy to spend his life teaching Eridians about Earth and humans and more, he knew part of him would always long for someone, a human, who could understand him.

   Simon was supposed to die in that ocean of blood, the Blood Eel would not allow him to live and the C.O.I had no intention of pulling him out of that submarine they welded together, his fate was to die at the hands of a monster.

   So what happens when Ryland Grace sees Simon floating around in space? Has the universe finally decided to give these patron saints of one way trips the happiness they deserve?
