Toward that end, she's working with her mentor until the woman has a massive heart attack and then a stroke, rendering her out of the office and never to return. Livi has already found a tech guy who can help her with the program she needs to write to direct the Hubble Telescope to find elements in black holes. And Nick, although coming from another family in Brooklyn, hasn't seen his family in years and doesn't intend to. But he's taken both with Livi and also the programming work she needs him for.
She's all for family and staying home, even if it means not getting her academic work completed, while Nick is all about change and staying away from the tethers to family that Livi craves. How can these two memorable characters get together?

But will Livi believe him, forgive him, take him back?...more
