First Fight
Sam looked down at Angela, arms folded across his broad chest. Angela just stared back up at him, hands on her hips. To be honest, it would have been a comical sight if they weren't in the middle of a fight.
"You're benching me?" Angela raised a brow.
"I just think you should hang back on this one!" Sam snapped.
"I've been hunting just as long as you have!" Angela yelled. "I'm your girlfriend, but I am still a hunter."
Sam clenched his jaw, clearly frustrated. "I'm not saying you can't hunt, Angela. I'm just saying that you should sit this one out."
"And why should I sit this one out, Sam?" Angela narrowed her eyes.
"Because I want to keep you safe, Angela." Sam sighed heavily. "I mean, is that so wrong?"
"Well, then by that logic, I can't ever hunt again." She sassed.
Sam looked up at the yellow-stained ceiling and sighed. "Angie—
"No, Sam!" Angela snapped. "Don't you think that I wanna keep you safe? Of course, I do! But, I'm not gonna stop you from doing your job."
Sam opened his mouth to say something, but Angela held up a hand, stopping him.
"I'm not done." She said firmly. "I love you, Sam, I do. But you need to let me do my damn job, and I need you to respect that. Otherwise, we can't move forward."
The anger immediately faded from Sam's face and was replaced with confusion. "Angie, what… what are you saying?"
Angela's arms fell to her sides. "I can't be with someone who won't let me hunt. Hunting is a part of me, Sam."
"Are… are you…?"
"I don't want to break up with you," Angela said sincerely. "But… hunting keeps me close to my dad. I need you to understand that."
"The very last thing I want is to break up." Sam murmured.
"I know." Angela nodded. "Um, I… I think I'm gonna grab a drink and clear my head."
Sam wanted to stop her, he wanted to stop her so badly, but he knew better. Angela needed her space…
"Okay." Sam nodded. "I love you. Be safe."
"I love you, too, Sammy," Angela replied, kissing his cheek.
