Jo had been too consumed by her grief for Mars to think of anyone outside herself. Those few weeks sailing home had seen her with one singular mission: to get home and help her sister. Jo hadn't thought of Holsten or the crew left behind, she hadn't considered the implications her and Saturn's disappearance would carry. Not until it was too late.

Still, she didn't quite believe he worried for her. Their relationship wasn't like that. They came and went from one another's lives like a summer breeze. A whisper of ecstasy for a few days or weeks and then gone again. Hell, prior to inviting him to her work site Jo hadn't spoken to him in months. Her family worried for her. Saturn worried for her. Holsten was just another fling.

"I didn't think of it." She admitted quietly before falling to the sofa behind her. Jo really hadn't come to sleep with him, not today. "She needed me. It was all I could do to make it home." Still not an apology. Not that she would. "You are, but those are your choices. I can't tell you what you're to share with the world." Jo said finally. She wasn't trying to provoke him…it was just fact.
