    Summary

    Grace knows there are certain elements of human culture Rocky won't ever understand and vice versa, but a three year journey in a small space allows a lot of time for new experiences and long explanations.

    Summary

    At least I still have coffee.

    I sit up too fast, though, and end up seeing spots. It takes me a couple seconds for my brain to stop feeling like TV static. The first time that happened, Rocky freaked out.
