“ Yeah. I guess if it falls out of orbit. It’d kill us almost immediately, though, if that were to happen. Come hurdling straight to earth & take us all out ... So lets hope it stays where its at, at least for now. But, if this shitshow we call life gets any worse, you & I can get together & see if we can make it happen. ” He winks at her, smirking. “ Deal ? ”
