Summary
“I won’t give them this,” Grace said through her teeth. “I spent that night fighting to survive, and I won’t give them the satisfaction of killing myself now. I won. I get to live, and they don’t.” Never mind that her existence did not feel like living at all.
“Spite is not a good reason to stay alive, nor is it consistent,” her therapist insisted.
“It’s all I have right now, it’ll have to do.”
“Is it all you have?”
No, she thought, and the image that came to her mind wasn’t the job she could never have back after becoming a morbid celebrity; nor the apartment that housed both her memories of Alex and the future she would share with him; not even the friendships that she had neglected to a breaking point while enraptured in the whirlwind of her new relationship.
It was Daniel.
Or
Grace and Daniel navigate life in the aftermath of the wedding night.

Summary
Figures. That Daniel’s synapses would make him relive last night to the dregs, before they let him proceed to his next fire-and-brimstone stop. Oh, well. At least he gets to help her again. And so he smiles, numb, dumb and damned, while she tilts her head on the side and, incredibly, mouths, “Do you remember?”.

Summary
"You know I've turned off notifications for anyone with the last name Le Domas." When Daniel asks if that's why she never responds to his text messages, Grace replies, "I can literally shout across the hall to respond to your texts. Besides, you're listed in my phone as Betty Ford."

Summary
She gets a job flying local between the original colony and the one on the far side of the continent that's still trying to get itself self-sufficient. She doesn't get to break atmo, but she likes it better than the docks work she was doing back on Gateway, he knows.
"One of the other pilots mentioned a quarantine today," she tells him. "On Fiorina 161."

Summary
Grace shakes her head. "Trust me," she sighs. "There's no chance of me winning this. I'm as good as dead."
The room goes silent as everybody turns and looks to her as if on some sort of cue.
Grace blinks back at them all, bemused by the synchronicity, "... what?"
(aka, Five times Grace learns about the games the Le Domas' play.)
