    Summary

    The first time he feels the terror, he doesn't understand why. As he barely hangs onto consciousness, the soft silicon presses against his face, enveloping his nose and mouth. The spark of terror catches fire in his chest and quickly spreads across his body. It ignites a screaming inferno within his skull. He forces his eyes open. Everything is red. There's shapes above him. Pure oxygen fills his airways, stale and clinical and familiar and wrong.
    Grace's memories of his unwilling medical sedation and forced sacrifice return, vivid and violent. Later, on the journey back to save Rocky, he has night terrors. The thin lines between consciousness, unconsciousness, memory, and nightmare blur.

    Summary

    I do not have time to remind world-class scientists to use the bathroom!

    Saving the sun for humanity is hard enough. Doing it while fighting a paralyzing childhood block that makes using a public restroom impossible is pure hell. Ryland Grace is determined to keep his deepest, most humiliating secret buried, but Eva Stratt has a way of seeing right through him.

    Summary

    “Joy does not know Grace,” Rocky grumbles. “Joy thinks Grace is ♩♭ ♬ ♫ ♩! I know Grace— mean is good for Grace.”

    I'm about to argue back, but I'm distracted by Joy's annoyed whistle. “I do not think that!”

    “Wait, what?” I look between them. “Hey, new word. What does Joy think I am?” I address this to Rocky, who is far more likely to tell me if I've just been insulted.

    “Ignore,” Joy says. “Rocky is inaccurate.”
