“Pip reached down behind the lecturn for Ravi's hand, sliding her fingers between his. Their entwined hands became a new living thing, her pads perfect against the dips in his knuckles like they'd just grown just that way to fit together.”

“Our shoulders brush when she sits beside me, and I tense at the feel of it. Not because I don't want her, but because I am so unused to someone wanting me. Choosing me. Finding me worth the effort. Because I am completely undeserving of it. Of her, If darkness is the absence of light, then that is what I am when she is not around. And I wonder how I've stumbled this long with her to guide me.”

“Oh, I know”, she said. She clenched her fist and looked to the side for a moment. Then back to me with a burning gaze I’d never seen before. “Dr. Grace. You’re a coward and you’re full of shit.” I winced. “If you really cared so much about the children, you’d get on that ship without hesitation. You could save billions of them from the apocalypse instead of preparing hundreds of them for it.” I shook my head. “It’s not about that—” “Do you think I don’t know you, Dr. Grace?!” she yelled. “You’re a coward and you always have been. You abandoned a promising scientific career because people didn’t like a paper you wrote. You retreated to the safety of children who worship you for being the cool teacher. You don’t have a romantic partner in your life because that would mean you might suffer heartbreak. You avoid risk like the plague”. I stood up. “Okay, it’s true! I’m afraid! I don’t want to die! I worked my ass off on this project and I deserve to live! I’m not going, and that’s final! Get the next person on the list—that Paraguayan chemist. She wants to go!” She slammed her fist on the table. “I don’t care who wants to go. I care who’s most qualified! Dr. Grace, I’m sorry, but you are going on that mission. I know you’re afraid. I know you don’t want to die. But you’re going”.”

“You think you know a person because you've gleaned a bunch of facts about where they came from or who their family is, but the tissue of the person id made up of so much more than that, all the tiny fibres of our lives that weave themselves into a pattern that is unique.”
