Sam McCall sits alone on the cold concrete floor of her prison cell at Pentonville. She rests her chin on her knees thinking of all those on the outside. Her daughter Lily, her mother Alexis, her sisters Kristina and Molly, her cousin Nikolas, her best friend Maxie, and most importantly the man she loves Jason Morgan. Jason occupies most of Sam's thoughts because he's in a coma and no one will give her info on his condition. Pretty much everyone thinks she's the one that shot him in his head and put him in the coma except those she thinks of, but they can't come and see her because she's in solitaire. This makes her even lonelier. The quiet alone can make anyone crazy, right?

The only different things she sees during the day are the a set of green eye followed by the hand of the person who slides her food tray through the door for breakfast at 8am, lunch at 12pm, and for dinner at 6pm. Sam normally doesn't eat or doesn't eat too much. But today is a different day. Today, Sam will actually get to meet the person behind those green eyes. His name is Cooper Barrett and for the first time today, he was going to open the doors of her cell and talk to her.

'Hi. Um...I brought you some breakfast. I know you normally eat this stuff and I don't blame you, but maybe you should eat a little something. I know solitaire is hard and all. Well if you decide to eat, here's the food. By the way, my name is Officer Cooper Barrett, but you can call me Cooper or Coop if you want to, I mean. Okay, see you later.'

Sam just sat there staring at the wall as Cooper rambled on and on. But then Sam decided to speak.

'Nice to meet you Officer Barrett. I'm Sam, Sam McCall.'

'Nice to meet you too, Sam McCall.' Cooper said as he walked out and closed the door.

After Coop left, Sam decided to eat her breakfast. She had eggs, sausage, bacon, buttered toast and washed it down with orange juice. Sam was just finishing when Cooper returned.

'Hey, you finished your food. This is a big change. I should have talked to you a long time ago. I came back later today so I have some time to sit and talk.' Coop said.

'Are you sure you want to sit in a cell talking to a dangerous killer?' Sam asked.

'You don't look too dangerous to me. I'm sure whoever you hurt had it coming to them.' Coop answered.

'What makes you think that?' Sam asked

'Because, you would have attacked me every time II brought you your food. And you would have really gotten me this morning when I came in and introduced myself.' Coop answered with a smile and got Sam to smile too.

'A smile, that's what I was getting at. So miss McCall, who did you hurt and why?' Coop asked.

'I didn't hurt anybody...well this time. My fiancée got shot in the head and I was there. I didn't shoot him, but everyone except my family think that I did.' Sam answered.

'So where's your fiancée now and does he know that you didn't shoot him?' Coop asked.

'He's in a coma and I know he knows I didn't do it because I was standing right behind him when it happened. I caught him in my arms as we both hit the ground.' Sam says as she begins to tear up.

'I'm so sorry, I didn't mean...' Coop began to say, but was interrupted by one of the other guards, his name was Logan Hayes.

'What's going on here Coop? The DA's been asking about you. You better come on now.' Logan warns Coop as he eyes Sam and then walks out the door.

'Maybe we can finish this discussion around lunch?' Coop asks.

'Maybe you should just stick to your job Officer Barrett. Here's your tray.' Sam says.

Cooper takes the tray and walks at the door. She looks back at Sam hoping she would look back, but she doesn't so Coop just walks out closing the door behind him. Sam goes to lie down and rest for a bit.
