Ch. 8: The Morning After

When Jack woke up, Sam was gone. She'd obviously been gone a while because the bed next to him was cold. He got up with a sigh and slid on his clothes from the day before. He also grabbed a set of clean clothes and headed for the bathroom. He was surprised to see Sam in the hot spring. "Uhh, hi."

Sam hadn't heard Jack come in and jumped at the sound of his voice before turning. "You scared me."

"Sorry…ya know, it's really not cool to leave before waking the other person up."

"Sorry. I just needed to think and relax…let me get out of here so you can clean up." She grabbed a 'towel' and stood up, wrapping it around her body. She picked up her clothes then headed for the door.

Jack reached one arm out to stop her as she walked past. "You wanna grab some dinner tonight and we can talk?"

Sam smiled. "Yeah…I'll see you at 1000." She walked out closing the door behind her.
