   Summary

   In 2010, Doctor Ryland Grace meets billionaire engineer Tony Stark at a scientific conference. After a one-night stand, Stark offers the disgraced scientist a position at his company and a future with him. But Grace is a coward, and if there's one thing everyone knows, it's that cowards always leave.

   Always.

   Over the course of the next few years they meet again, under different circumstances this time. But one thing is always the same: Grace leaves. So what happens if he finally decides he'd rather stay than leave? Is staying even an option anymore?

   (Now with a new ending!)
