"Boss?"
It had been so quiet, except for the hiss far above in the darkness of the engineering spaces and the pinging and plopping of the water drops hitting the deck plates, and the growing pool at her feet, and the skin of her upturned face. "...Yeah."
"How long have you been standing there?"
"I dunno: maybe a couple minutes?"
"Are you all right? Should I call someone?"
“Did you ever stand in the rain? Just stand there?”
“I was three when we launched, I don’t even remember rain.”
She shook her head, reached out her hand. “Come stand here.”
