“That was one hell of a day.”
Sam collapsed in a chair, too frustrated and tired to even
try and make coffee. Luckily, there was a friend nearby.
“That was one hell of a week! It’s not every day your team
falls apart…is it?”
Sam smiled to herself and forced her eyes open. Daniel was
mucking around with the coffee pot, trying to find the cookies.
“Second drawer on the right.”
Daniel looked up at her and smiled.
“You moved them.”
Sam closed her eyes again, a lazy smile settling on her
face. Daniel smiled back and went to grab the cookies. He deftly poured the
coffees and set one down beside Sam. He then dumped the cookies on a plate and
put his own coffee on his desk, carefully avoiding the papers that lay
everywhere.
“You seen Jack recently?”
Sam’s eyes flew open and she sat bolt upright. Daniel was
looking distinctly nervous now, fingers gripping his coffee cup tightly.
“Daniel…you didn’t seriously think…”
Sam trailed off, as Daniel looked up at her. His eyes were
wide and slightly shiny in the light, but Sam put it down to tiredness. She
sighed and picked up her coffee and drunk deeply from it. She wasn’t going to
face this conversation without the blessing of her golden bean.
“Daniel, did you think I was dating Jack?”
Daniel’s eyes widened again, before he stared back down at
his coffee.
“Um, no…well…yeah. You two kinda have…it made.”
Sam just stared and stared and stared. Several sliding
blocks fell directly into place, and she sat there, staring realisation
straight in the face.
“Have it made?” she said slowly, “Are you nuts? There’s
nothing between the Colonel and me. Nothing like that!”
Daniel mouthed a silent ‘oh’ before sipping from his cup.
He had so messed up. There was a mixture of guilt and exultation soaring
through him at that point in time. Sam wasn’t dating Jack, Sam wasn’t dating,
Sam could be his? Okay, now you’re getting ahead of yourself!
Meanwhile, an ecstatic
Janet Frasier jumped up and down outside Daniel’s office, and burst off at a
run to the infirmary. She had a rumour mill to set straight.
