He debated for two seconds, then showed his brother this phone. “What the hell does that mean?”
“It’s like you’re a newborn,” Ford said. “It means frustration, disgust, sadness, that kind of thing.”
“Well why not say that then?”
Ford just patted him on the shoulder.
You need anything let me know,he texted back.
A smiley face emoji came back. He swore beneath his breath.

“Can’t imagine what it would be like to have people after you like that constantly,” Luke said.
“I guess she’s used to it, considering?” Jack said.
“How the hell do you get used to that?” Nash snapped.

“The point, Nash, is people relocate.”
“What?”
“You and Luna,” Jack added.
“I’m not sure what you’re getting at?”
Luke nudged Joe. “You tell him.”
“Tell me what?” Nash ground out.
