Upon arriving home Sam had welcomed Connie and helped her settle in.
'Grace is asleep, so don't worry.'
'Where is she then?'
'She is next door, fell asleep before I left.'
'Oh right. So...' Connie began standing from her bed in the guest suite.
'So.. Would you like a drink?' Sam improvised.
'Please.' She answered perhaps a little too quickly.
'What would you like?' He asked as they entered the kitchen.
'Something alcoholic.'
'Good call.' He replied laughing.
'Brandy?'
'That'd be lovely Sam.' She replied sitting down in the conservatory.
'So how's Holby?'
'same old, same old.'
'What brings you out here then?'
'Things have just been really heavy at the moment. I needed to see Grace, spend some quality time with her.' She smiled
'I suppose seeing me is just an added bonus?'
'Well I'm not sure if I'd call it that!'
'Oh charming.'
'Sam?' She asked, waiting for him to meet her eyes, 'It's probably nothing but... It's just that... Well...'
'Connie? What is this about?'
'Gosh I know it stupid but the X on our texts?'
'What about them?' He asked confused.
'It's just it surprised me?'
'Good or bad?'
'Good?'
He smiled, a real genuine smile. Before staring at her, taking in every feature he had longed to study.
'What?' She asked suddenly extremely self conscious.
'Nothing, I just forgot how perfect you are.'
'I think you may be drunk.'
'Stop.'
'Stop what?'
'Stop putting yourself down. You're gorgeous Connie, believe me when I say that.'
'Thank you Sam.' She smiled, looking away.
'Look at me.' He said turning her head towards him.
Within moments of just staring at each other, their lips were colliding. Neither sure who made the first move, whether it was due to true feelings or down to being under the influence of alcohol neither knew.
