Hi! I really loved this challenge. It was harder than using a single word and a nice change. It made me want to try something different. There's no real spoilers for this. I see this happening in Season 4 or 5, not earlier than "Mystery Spot." Please let me know what you think!

Everyone Else

The first one was intense, the second knocked him off his feet.

Sam wasn't prepared. For an attack of hideous evil, yes, but not for a soul-shifting, earth-moving kiss.

His body tingled with sensations that were decidedly good and sadly foreign.

Janelle was incongruously beautiful, dark hair, light eyes, an exotic dusting of freckles. She was brazen, funny, colorful. It hurt to pull away.

"I can't."

"Why not? You have a crush on me."

His fingers tangled in her delicate ones. "Because I'm cursed…I don't want it touching you like it—"

"…touched someone else?"

"Everyone else."

Sam smoothed the curls from her face. "I could love you."

The third one was goodbye.
