"Yeah. Been married for nearly five years," Wash said with a smile. "Oh, I bet that was interesting. She really don't like the Alliance, and Reavers... they are the most horrible thing you can imagine."

He nodded at her. "Yeah, I'd hate to think what it would be like without her here." From what he'd seen from other people on the station, the majority of them weren't married, so wouldn't know what it was like to be separated from their spouses, but just having someone from home would have made it easier. He was just especially lucky to have Zoe here.
