When Annie’s brother accidentally hits a giant of a man, she wants to call for an ambulance, but the phones are out and her brother’s license is suspended. The man doesn’t appear to be badly injured and her place is close, so they take him home. But Calix is from a planet that is in the path of a comet. His ship isn’t working, he’s injured, and his urge to confide in Annie is overwhelming. He’s never had feelings like he’s experiencing. Is it an effect of Earth’s atmosphere—or is it just Annie?
