"What?" Sam said, hoping she had heard wrong, not daring to believe it yet. Refusing to believe what she had heard yet. But deep down she knew Dylan wasn't lying, the look on his face told her that. He was her husband; she knew these things about him! And he knew these things about her, the small details in her body language that told him when she was hiding something or upset. Sam couldn't bear to think what she would do if he ever forgot those things. Because she knew she would always remember the same details about him, no matter what life threw at them. For crying out loud, she was suffering from memory loss and still remembered everything about him!

"I was going to tell you but…" Dylan trailed off not knowing what to say. He was never good with words, and seeing his wife lie there, almost breaking, made him angrier with himself than ever before. He'd always been cross with himself for driving her away and now he'd ruined their second chance of a getting back together. He'd managed to screw up everything good that had happened to him.

"It was only a matter of time you know… but then it was all for the best in the end." Ian said. Sam and Dylan's necks both snapped towards the tall man, still in army uniform. Both had forgotten he was still there. "Sam and I can finally get on with our lives in piece." He sighed, as this was a lovely occasion.

"Are you still here? Don't you think you've done enough damage for one day?!" Dylan said his voice raising. He had been so preoccupied with Sam discovering about their divorce, that he had completely forgotten about the man who had waltzed into the hospital and help contribute ruin his relationship with his wife for a second time.

"Damage? I think you'll find that I am the best thing that has happened to Sam! All you've done is drink and drink and drink and never think about her feelings! Which is why she came to me for comfort!" Ian shouted back.

Dylan's mouth opened then closed again, unsure how to respond. Everything he had just said was true- all he had done was drink and not think about Sam. When Sam had told him about her affair, Dylan had always imagined what he'd say and do to the man, but now the opportunity had come he realised that he was not in the right. He wasn't in the right to do anything. He didn't deserve Sam; all he'd do was hurt her again and again.

"Right well…" Dylan managed to say. "I brought you some of your things," Dylan turned back to Sam who looked on the verge of tears. "I think you'll recognise most of them..."

"Thank you." Was all Sam said. She was still trying to work out what had happened between them. How had she lost a man as perfect as Dylan?

"I'll go and uhh… I'll go." Dylan turned on his heel and reluctantly left the room. He wished it was the other way round, and that Ian would leave and he could stay but he'd done enough damage to Sam for a lifetime. It's time he let her go.

Back again! Sorry it's a day late but oh well. I'm so excited for Casualty tonight- apparently Tom and Sam kiss. Well, this will be interesting with both of them and Dylan all working in the same hospital. (And remember to review!)
