To make somebody sure or certain of something
She was scared, more so than ever before. She was loosing him, could actually see him leaving her. She needed a reason for it, for everything going wrong, and no one was willing to tell her. No one cared enough to explain to her why she had lost him.
She went from rhyme to reason to try and convince him that she didn't… that she *wouldn't* do that to him. But he heard nothing, instead continued on stripping her of her every fibre of humanity and dignity.
She told him countless times, told him the *truth* countless times, and yet he failed to believe her. After everything they went through he still didn't have the trust in her humanity to believe her.
The worst thing about the whole… *thing* was that she had to be *there* with him right there in the same room with him for the majority of the day. Had to try and hide that she was hurting, try and deny that this was affecting her abilities in her job. But it was, she could see this and her closest friends could see this also… but could he? Could he see the pain he was putting her through?
Deciding that there was nothing more she could do to avoid the inevitable, she jumped into the elevator and made her way to the briefing room where she would be de-briefed on her next mission…with him.
She had a lot of convincing to do.

"You leave in thirty, dismissed," Hammond told them as he rose from his seat, no doubt sensing the tension around the table.
No one moved for a few minutes until Jack, no longer able to stay at the table, pushed his chair back causing Daniel and Jonas to raise their heads in a startled gesture. Sam looked up from the table momentarily then re-fixed her steely gaze on the table.
"I think we better go get geared up what do ya say?" Without waiting for an answer Jack walked away from the table and out the door causing a shadow to hang momentarily in the room.
A silence descended over the table both cold and unforgiving. Never before had Samantha Carter felt such hatred come from her friends. Not even at any Goa'uld. The thing about this though, it was directed at her… and she didn't know why.
"Daniel…" She began, determined to get some sort of answers.
"Don't Sam, just… leave it." With that he and Jonas stood and left with such speed that a small draft blew over her face.
"Teal'c can you explain this to me? Please?" She was begging, she knew she was but she didn't care.
Teal'c rose slowly from his chair, hesitating before straightening up and stepping back.
"Sometimes, MajorCarter, words are never enough."
Standing, now alone, in the briefing room Sam Carter allowed herself to break down and cry. If only for a moment, she could loose herself in her tears.
