   Summary

   On their way to Erid, Grace and Rocky encounter a submarine with a giant tree right through the middle. Inside they find and rescue a man who is the spitting image of Ryland's former boyfriend Dave. The man is infact not Dave but Simon, a former convict thrown through the fabric of time and space to end up falling for a man seemingly only interested in his unexpected twin. Simon just wanted to live, that wish was granted, and now he just wants to be loved. No matter the cost.

   Future excerpt:

   - It’s not just your face.
   Grace said quietly.
   - It’s your expressions, body language, your voice. Even his laugh…
   He lowered his head as Simon watched with pained eyes, “…his laugh…”, he thought to himself “…his…”. Simon could only think of a handful of times he had laughed as heartly as he had just a moment ago, it might as well not be his own.
