"It was nice, though," she said, trying to change the subject.

"She's, uh... still the same old woman."

"She's your stereotypical nun, I figure," she said with a shrug. "Extremely religious. Very focused. She tends to stay in the church... doesn't get out, much."

"I, uh... I don't really know," she admitted with a furrow of her brows. "That's my mother for you..."

"Come on, you gotta know. She has to do something for fun. Or have some passion outside of the church. She wasn't always a nun right."

Cause Sarah existed.

"I don't know," she admitted. "She's been a nun my entire life. I was born into the church."

Sarah looked slightly uncomfortable.

"Oh... Well, we don't have to talk about it if you don't want to."

He said noting her discomfort.

"Last thing we need right now is more awkwardness, right?"

He'd said with a small smile.

"Yeah, but there are things that are not my business, and I can respect that. I don't want to use your guilty feelings to my advantage."

Guilt. She winced very obviously and then turned and stared down at her hands.

"Okay, sure," she agreed, but didn't sound too sure herself.

He frowned.

"Are YOU okay though?"

"I will be," she said, trying to smile. "I just... want things to be back to normal. I'd like to spend time with people and not have this... shit... any of it... My mother, Jim, Aaron... I'd rather not have it hovering over my damn shoulder."

"That's fair. And no one is perfect. Not even me."

He would say with a sheepish grin.

"I need to thank you though."

She snickered.

"Thank me? For what?"

"I was really out of it, but from How it was told to me you were standing over me protecting me when I went down. I could have died otherwise. So thank you. For having my back through Hell."

Sarah looked at him for a long moment, trying to remember what exactly had happened after he went down. The fire, and the panic... Trying to keep him conscious. That beam...

She shuddered slightly, before glancing away.

"Any time, Captain. I've got your back... No matter what happens." She began to idly pick at the fabric of her sweater. "That's what... family means."

She smiled at Eric, taking a deep breath and relaxing.

"So we're good?"
