Hell, he was just glad that there was no smog covering the light above them. "Had some pretty fun times up there, from bird racing to hunting. You ever been to space?"

"I've been just about everywhere." She turned to John. "I want to hear about some of these adventures of yours."
-
"What kind? I've got tales from action to romance, and just about everything in between."

"Oh, how about some romance? I bet you have a lot of experience in that field."

"Oh, I'm sorry if I'm bringing back bad memories "

"It's alright, I've had more good times thAn bad, never really regretted a thing with her." JT reminisced on the past for only the briefest of moments, though it felt like an eternity to him. "You ever have anyone in your life?"
