"What do you think?" Sam asked as we sat at the restaurant.

I had put on a dress Mercy had let me borrow. It was red and shorter and a spaghetti strap dress I was amazed that she even owned given the fact that she was a mechanic. The look in Sam's eyes when he saw me was worth it.

"It's nice. Quiet." I said looking around the room. He had brought me to a little place but still fancy. "I like it." Sam smiled brilliantly.

"Father told me you had talked to Anna." Sam said as he took a bite.

"Ya I had some questions about werewolves." I said looking down at the food.

"You know you can ask me anything." he said reaching across to take my hand.

"Of course."

"Still working through things?" he asked.

"ya. I'm not used to being to protective of someone. Especially someone I have only known for a month or so."

"how about we agree to stumble through it together and lean on each other so we don't mess it up by ourselves."

"Sounds like a deal Mr. Cornick."

"Great. What day would you like?" Sam asked. When I looked confused he added. "To become Mrs. Cornick."

"I want it to be summer so we don't have to drive to Montana in the snow?"

"Montana?"

"yep. In the small church there. It will be small probably your family and my foster parents."

"Alight." he said, nodding.

"maybe June first." I said naming a date four months away.

"I'll tell my father." he nodded. For Sam I would make it fast. He was still fragile and I wanted it to be crystal clear to him that I intended to stay with him. I squeezed his hand and he looked into my eyes. I leaned right over the table and kiss him not caring about the people around us.

I decided that we shod stop the kiss before it led somewhere else and we didn't get to eat the wonderful food. I left my hand in his across the table though.

I couldn't just sneak off tomorrow to meet Sarah because he was home when I had to leave. so I decided to bring the subject up as we shared an ice cream Sunday.

"I am going to have dinner with an old friend tomorrow." I said only telling him half the truth. She had been a friend at least. "she is in town and wants to catch up."

"Good. It's good for you to catch up with old friends." he said taking another bite.

We finished the mountain of ice-cream and banana's and he drove home.

"So when are you going to teach me to drive?" I asked as he pulled smoothly into the drive way.

"The last time I taught a coyote to drive she wrapped my father's car around a tree." Sam answered with a laugh.

"whoop's" I said getting out and shutting the door. Before I knew it Sam had his arms around me and was leaning in for a kiss. I saw no reason to withhold.

"I'll see you when you get home." I told Sam as I went outside and hopped into the waiting taxi. I blew a kiss to him as the taxi rounded the corner.

The address she had given me was for another restaurant in a different part of the city. I gave the man the address and let myself be lost in thought. I paid the man and stepped out. As he drove off I noticed something was off. The man had dropped me off in a place where there was no restaurants in sight. Just a couple old warehouses. And the smell. Not something I had ever smell before. Like living decay. I heard something moving at impossible speeds behind me and before I could react everything went black.

A/N sorry it took so long. My dad wiped the computer without first telling me so I didn't get a chance to save anything. I shudder to think of all the stories I lost….. I would appreciate any input or reviews ;)
