When I arrived at the Spirit's Eve festival, the first thing I noticed was that Sam was standing alone with a plate of blackberry cobbler.
Curious about his plans for tonight, I approached him and said "Hey!"
He looked up at me and replied "Oh, hey!" with a smile... and a mouth full of cobbler. He had a little on his face, too.
"Were you planning on doing the maze this year?" I asked.
"Nah," Sam replied, after swallowing the cobbler. "Sebastian said he and Abigail were going in there to help her conquer her fear of spiders. Let's let them have the pumpkin this year."
"If someone else hasn't got it already," I said.
"Hope not," he shrugged.
I looked over at the maze, wondering what the lovebirds were currently up to. I smiled at the thought of Abigail building her courage and Sebastian being there to love and support her all the way.
I then realized that eating Spirit's Eve food with Sam was better this year anyway.
