Also well done, just like the last. I knew that episode would inspire you. ;)

I am in love with that episode ;)

oh, lovely look at that moment. She's trained herself so thoroughly into toughness that she can't show weakness, especially to Derek when she thinks he's sitting there waiting for it. Which he's not, but her pride won't let her see that.

Yeah, I think Derek's more forgiving than Sarah can allow herself to believe.

Ooh. This is good. Totally IC and a powerful little vignette. Nicely done.

I liked this missing scene very much. It probably would have played out just like that. My one criticism is that it sometimes seemed, I guess, too structured. Quotes from Kyle followed directly with the correlating conclusion. It's probably just a matter of taste though.

I do like that he brought up Kyle there at the end.It's a little nod to the connection they can't help but have.

Thanks. I rushed this piece out in an hour or two, so it's not as tight as I would like. I was playing with the idea of Sarah fighting with herself since "Kyle" is in fact just a construct of her personality and nothing even remotely approaching a third party. But it didn't really come together the way I was intending.
