Summary
Grace finds himself, no longer busy, standing listlessly at Simon's bedside again. Reaching for his wrist to feel his pulse. It's an odd sort of tactile comfort. An additional confirmation that he's alive, he's fine - even if the monitor plainly displays it. Just the contact is nice, even through the bandages (which are less bloody, Armando must've changed them).
It sends an odd thrill up Grace's spine. A weird giddiness. Makes him lightheaded. Buzzes beneath his skin. Pathetic, right? That's how he feels despite how well he knows that humans are social creatures and, by nature, require physical contact. Touch is something he's been deprived of. Severely. And now Simon is just miraculously here, with warm skin and blood in his vessels and a steady heart rate.

Or, Grace deals with everything that comes with having another person aboard the Hail Mary. Another person who showed up without any logical explanation, severely injured and afraid.
