   Summary

   Grace and Simon have fallen into a domestic routine during their time on Erid, but neither wants to admit to the possibility of feelings between them. The two have been dancing around each other for years, but now it's all bubbling to a head. After Simon accidentally makes a move on Grace, the two agree that it's simply a cultural difference. They both wonder what other "cultural difference" they can get away with.
   "You kissed me?"
   "Oh."
   "Is that um, that a Mars culture thing, or..?"
   "Yes! Mars culture thing!"
