Sarah (fighting back tears): I know the risks
Doctor: I think you and Kyle should consider other options

Sarah's p.o.v
Back to business, a perfect day to get work done is right now instead of later on. Call me a bookworm, but I will stay warm without your touch. Knowledge satisfies my hungry mind and soul. Age gracefully with time, wisdom, please never leave me behind in the fire. Reachable destination, my full true potential. A season of celebration and transition, gratitude in the aftermath of devastation. Indescribable happiness, continuous goodluck, success has me floating on cloud nine twenty four seven.
