This is the prequel to "Broken Promises." It's a Leah and Sam moment before Sam imprinted on Emily.(Fluff alert!)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a hot summer night. La Push's rollicking waves were calm tonight, and it was low tide. Sam borrowed his uncle's rowboat and he was rowing us over the water, cool and calm. There was barely any wind and the beach was deserted. Finally, Sam stopped the boat and we sat there, the moon behind us. I could barely see him, but his outline was well-known to me. Gentle eyes, and a small sideways smile.

I loved Sam's smile. It was what I imagined every morning, and what took over my dreams every night. I loved it, and it was mine to have forever.

A I studied Sam, I noticed the small changes in him. He was leaner, and more well-porportioned then he was the year before. He'd lost that boyish look in his eyes, and now they were all-around gentle, but aged.

"Leah?" asked the voice of my angel, " are you alright?"

" I love you." I replied truthfully.

" I'm yours." Sam said, smiling the look I loved most.
