It's very great!! As always, your story made my day, I still love your writing!
Nick's distress is very understandable, and I very like your version of Sara's past!

And, I want the golden star!! I think your little blink-and-you’ll-miss-it reference to Sara’s attraction to Grissom is when they talk about hope, no? When she said "you help us – me at least – remember how to have hope, too." Well, maybe I have to stop drinking coca (yeah, I know iy's totally irrelevant,lol).

Keep writing!!
