Hello. This is Jankos of the H2K space unit–
–team. You said 'space team' yesterday. I miss you, by the way. How are you doing up in cosmic bliss?
I miss you too. The lines are going to be busy. How much does NASA owe you anyways? It's risky to keep calling me while I'm in space.
They owe me a lot more than this. But this is all I need for now.
Anything else, princess?
I need for my baby boy to reach the ground again. Desperately.
At least I can prove something to you now. Something I couldn't prove back on Earth.
And what might that be?
That I love you. I love you to the moon, Abryn.
...now could you prove to me: that you love me to the moon and back?
Maybe I could. Give me 27 days. I'll be home before you know it.
I'll know. I still miss you. Will you miss me when this call is done?
I'll miss you every day.
