    Summary

    Mark Watney didn't want Vincent Kapoor to make any promises that their romantic entanglement would continue while he was off living his best space-man life. Earth-Mars relationship seemed like a high pressure way to be long-distance with someone who you weren't, technically, meant to be dating.

    Vincent didn't agree with Mark's logic, but it was his choice to break up before leaving the planet (and would have given Vincent a great line about his ex leaving him for another planet, if anyone at all knew they had been together).

    Summary

    They stand like this in silence, looking at each other. They study each other's faces, glance at their hair, eyes and lips, and hardly think about anything in particular. Steve is thinking about how weird it all is, Jonathan is probably thinking about getting another cigarette.
