Her voice was croaky and barely audible, 'Jack?'
Her eyes flicked around the room until he came into view.
'I'm here.'
He laid his hand over her arm, carefully minding the bandages adorning both of her hands, and smiled brightly, 'you've been asleep for quite awhile… I was going to go home I was so bored.'
'Sure you were,' she whispered, her face formed a small smile and Jack's heart fluttered.
He loved that smile.
He loved that humour.
He loved her.
'Do you want anything?' he said quickly, having realised he was staring.
'More drugs,' she joked… 'I'm fine, thank you.'
'Yes you are.'
Seconds past and Sam looked at Jack, almost expectant.
'How long was I out?'
Jack blinked a couple of times, surprised. After the lecture Daniel had given him, he was sure that Sam had one lined up that was as equally damaging to the ears. 'Thirty-six hours, give or take.'
Sam nodded, 'You sticking around?'
'Barring any major disaster or planetary invasion, I'm all yours until you kick me out. You're gonna need a lot of help while your hands heal. And anyway, you can't live without me, can you?'
She cast her eyes down.
'Sir. As much as I'm grateful, you do realise what you're volunteering yourself for-'
'I'll be following you round like a little lost puppy.' He blinked and flashed her his adorable puppy dog eyes, 'Stuck with you for the next few weeks? I can't see how that would ever be a problem.'
Sam smirked, 'Just you wait until I get you home, my house is a mess.'
