"So, you two are a couple?"

"Yes."

Sam just about choked on his bit of food. Coughing a bit and taking a quick drink of water, he stared up at Brigitte sitting across the table from him. She was just looking at him innocently surprised, while his mouth hung open slightly. Next to Sam, Jason McCardy looked pretty much the same, in a weird shock bordering on a grin. Sam had to force himself not to smack the kid, since they were at the McCardy dinner table. No telling what Mr. and Mrs. McCardy would do if Sam just started smacking the shit out of their son.

Mrs. McCardy had, for some bizarre reason, invited Brigitte and Sam over for dinner after she met the odd girl. Brigitte and Jason had been working on a school project again, since no one else would work with her, and Mrs. McCardy had instantly claimed that Brigitte was a "sweet young lady."

Now, Mrs. McCardy had just asked if they were a couple and Brigitte had just replied "Yes" without any hesitation, like it was some well known fact. Sam was surprised, to say the least. He hadn't really thought about it, but now his mind was going into overdrive, thinking of reasons why it was true.

They lived together. Brigitte was now living with Sam and there was no question about where she was going to go off to, she was just going to be here, in Bailey Downs, with Sam.

They slept together. They had they're routine; every night was the same. They'd both gotten used to sleeping on the small, one-person cot in the greenhouse. Sam couldn't even remember now what it was like to sleep alone.

They had sex with each other. That was kind of redundant, who the hell else would he be with? Sam couldn't even remember when was the last time he'd been with some ditzy idiot from the high school. He just knew he liked Brigitte better. Sure, she wasn't adventurous or anything and she was still really shy and all that shit, but it was fun.

Mrs. McCardy was looking at him a little confused by the choking and coughing Sam had done. "So you are together?" she asked, slowly.

"Yeah," Sam said, having recovered from his shock. He added with a smirk that made Brigitte blush and look down at her plate, "She's my girlfriend."
