Summary
He nearly cries as he cradles it. Looks at her with such joy and relief she nearly screams. “We did it… holy crap, we actually did it!”
His son's salvation, neatly packaged in one little syringe, and it's all theirs.
A bit of time to ship it south and a single poke in his arm, and Duncan will be safe.
“I don’t know how I’ll ever be able to pay you back for this. I owe you big time.” Overjoyed relief fills his every word, but she can’t feel it with him. She hates herself a little for that.
“All I care about is curing your son,” she declares, surprised at how even it sounds. There isn’t a hint of the jealousy that burns through her hotter than any fire.
...or,
Nora and MacCready save his son's life, but the only thing it reminds her of? The fact that she's failed her own child.

Not at all, actually. Thanks for asking.
When he didn't answer right away she amended her question. “Are you capable of pretending to be someone capable of relaxing?”
