Craig walked Sammy home that afternoon and walked into Jane as she was leaving. "Hey," Jane said.
"Hi Mom," Sammy replied.
"Hey, Mrs. Thomas," Craig said.
"Craig, how did you-know," Jane jerked her head across the street, "take it?"
"He tried to kill Craig," Sammy replied. She reached over and took Gabriel's hand from her mother, Gabriel's hands were sticky and he had grape jelly around his face.
"Oh," Jane replied. "I knew it would happen sooner or later. Julia always had big plans for you two."
Craig's face softened. "She did?" he asked.
"She always believed that you two would end up together," Jane said. "Well, I better get going. Bye you guys."
Jane climbed into the car after kissing her grandson good-bye.
"Sammy, my mom thought we would end up together," Craig replied. "Do you think she could've predicted this?"
Sammy shrugged. "You're mom always believed that," she said.
Craig nodded. "I better get home," he replied.
"Ok," Sammy said. Craig kissed her and then turned and walked away.
Sammy looked down at Gabriel. "Come on," she said. "Let's get you a bath."
Gabriel nodded and Sammy walked into the house with him.
