Remember the Cardinals
By Swellison
Sam spent the morning searching for Kevin's cyber trail. He breaked for lunch, walking to the nearest bar. He ordered a beer, paying cash. Scanning the bar, Sam noted the football game on the television. The quarterback's red jersey caught his eye and Sam was thrown back to Saturday mornings at Stanford Stadium, cheering lustily amidst a field of red, Jess at his side. The Cardinals scored and Jess rose on her tippy-toes, exchanging a victory kiss…
Sam admitted he didn't long for his normal life with Amelia because he'd never had normal before, but because he remembered having it.
A/N: I don't know about you, but when Sam said he'd found something he'd never had before with Amelia – normal –I about yelled at the TV, "Huh? What about the love of his life, Jess? He was gonna marry her!" So, this is an attempt to fix that little plot hole. JIC it's not obvious, the title is a nod to the classic football movie, Remember the Titans.
