   Summary

   "Ngh.. not doing this again."

   Grace brought a hand up off the microphone button and clamped it over his mouth, jostling his half-floating glasses. 

   “Oh my God,” Grace spoke into his hand, a breathless realization sinking into his very core. He turned to Rocky, grinning ear to ear and literally vibrating with energy as he jerked his hands up and down. “Oh my GOD, Rocky!! Someone’s there!! Mary, Mary! Open the line!” 

   aka. The Light causes a rift in time, leading to a classic, slow-burn, meet-ugly on the way to Erid :>
