   Summary

   Saving Simon was easy.

   Convincing him that he’s safe is not.

   Ryland Grace has survived impossible odds. Surely helping one stubborn, traumatised man recover can’t be harder than all of that.

   He is very, very wrong.

   Or: Ryland Grace finds another human at the edge of the universe and becomes emotionally attached far too quickly. Simon, meanwhile, would rather chew glass than accept any help.
