Sometimes, you think you're getting better. The shaking stops along with the nagging feeling of being watched. The hairs on the back of your neck smooth and settle and you even get that nice warmth that'll spread through your gut, letting you know that everything is okay.

Other times, though, on days you've been shot at or threatened to be shot at, you know that you're not getting better. But that's okay, because on those days, Sam is always just a little bit closer, just a little bit nicer, just a little bit of everything that makes you feel safe.
