It's sort of a drabble.. 152 words, not including this intro thing.

She grinned happily, put her foot down, and looked at him.

Jack blinked. "Excuse me?" he asked incredulously.

Sam grinned again, and walked away.

Jack woke suddenly, and thought, what the hell was that? He shook his head, unaware that at her house, his second in command was sitting on her floor, staring at some tall, shiny, white shoes.
