"What's two plus two?" The question evades me. There's an uncomfortable scratch in my throat that I can't quite wrap my head around. Regardless of the discomfort, my chest feels light. Unburdened. Weightless. My brain feels quiet. Somehow, that feels new. Even as I'm gathering that something is definitely off here, I know for sure that "quiet" has never been a word I've used to describe my brain. Why is that? I have no idea. As my body continues to rifle through each foreign sensation, there is one thing on my mind that somehow breaks through to consciousness. The lightness in my chest is wrong. The silence in my mind is wrong. And like a prodigal son returning home, the heaviness settles in. The tears spring to my eyes and the noise returns to my brain, feeling nothing short of familiar. "What's two plus two?" "Fffour," I finally grind out, wondering if the labored exhale would relieve me of my burden. "Correct," the computer chimes. I know two plus two is four. But not why my heart feels like it's shattering inside my chest.

KAIROS (Greek): a time when conditions are right for the accomplishment of a crucial action; the opportune and decisive moment. ~ "I just wanted to do something truly great with my life. This seemed like a pretty extraordinary way to go." "You were already extraordinary."

Ryland Grace knew three things at this current moment. Hopefully that would improve. One: he was on a spaceship. Two: he did not know why. Three: the woman in the medical bay where he had woken up was alive, and for reasons his brain could not provide, that mattered more than everything else. *** I usually don't post my work, but I just wanted to try it out. Terrible at writing descriptions.

They met by chance in a crowded bar. She was Dr. Isla Torres, a brilliant NASA physicist with a sharp mind and sharper instincts. He was Ryland Grace, an awkward but beloved middle school science teacher with a habit of turning every conversation into a lecture on something wonderfully nerdy. One ridiculous shirt. One impulsive question. One night that turned into forever. They fell in love quickly-messily, intensely, completely. Ryland loved the way Isla could match his science with ease and then challenge him just to watch him think. Isla loved the way Ryland made her laugh like she wasn't carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. They married. Built a life together. Years of quiet mornings, shared jokes, late-night arguments about Pluto, and a love so steady it felt like gravity itself. And then- Dr. Ryland Grace and Dr. Isla Torres Grace wake up. Not in their bed. Not in their home. But aboard a spaceship drifting in deep space. Head pounding. Memory fractured. No idea how they got there. Ryland looks at the controls he doesn't remember learning. Isla stares at the stars she doesn't remember agreeing to leave Earth for. And between them, a terrifying truth begins to form: They didn't just wake up in space. They were sent there. Together.
