So glad I wasn't the only one who thought Julio and Ian sounded like a couple! :D
(If I ever start a book club, I'm going to call it More Women On The Bridge! and rec sci-fi novels with gender equality. And push for more such!)
I didn't think Joy Bretano sounded any more panicked than her husband, so I guess I just interpreted all that as his own attempt to keep from panicking? Especially since he tells her exactly what was told to him:
He punched in his wife's office number, before the news could go out. He said the way Pardino had said it, just, "Joy, Ian's in a little trouble, don't panic, but they've got a contact down there and Ian's met it."
I do wish we had more of her perspective, though. :(
...Unrelatedly: Please teach me to do the cool highlight-to-read thing, too? I have never quite known the html tags for it, though I might be able to work it out...
