Jack sat in his house with a beer, staring at the TV not watching what was
on. Some how the house felt empty, like something was missing. Sam. The
Amendments to the Regulations sat on the couch next to him. He read them
twice to make sure they said what he thought they said. Now he didn't know
what to do, all he knew was that he missed Sam being there. He knew he's
been a jerk but didn't know how to make up for it. So he sat staring at the
TV nursing his beer.

Sam cleaned her house with a vengeance. She tossed out anything not important and re-organised her book case in alphabetical order. Once her house was spotless Sam went and sat on the couch wondering what to do. After twenty minutes Sam switched on the TV and flicked the TV, when she found a film she hadn't seen she curled up under the blanket and began to watch.

As Sam washed her breakfast dishes the next morning there was a knock at the door. She wiped her hands on a towel and went to the door.
"Yes?" She said as she opened the door. The boy looked at his clipboard.
"Major Samantha Carter?" He asked.
"Yes. Can I help you?"
"I have a delivery for you. Can you sign here?" He held out the clipboard for her to sign. Sam took it and signed her name. "I'll just a minute ma'am." Sam was wondering what could be being delivered to as she knew she hadn't ordered anything. When he returned a minute later he held a large bouquet of flowers. "Here you are ma'am. Enjoy." He handed them to her.
"Thank you." She closed the door wondering who the flowers were from. She crossed the hall into the kitchen on the counter and pulled out the card.
' Sam, I'm sorry I was jerk. Forgive me? Dinner my place 1900? Jack.
P.S Thanks for looking after me.'
Sam sighed as moved to sit on a stool and re-read the card. She started to read the card again when the phone rang. She picked it up,
"Carter."
"Sam its Janet." A friendly voice replied.
"Hey Janet. Is everything okay at the base?"
"It's fine, slow even I had some time so I thought I might call, I heard about Colonel O'Neill being a jerk during the debriefing yesterday."
"I don't know what happened? One minute I was helping him put on this camouflage paint and the next he was snapping and ordering me to hang back." Sam recalled.
"Do you want me to break out the big needles for his next physical?" Janet asked.
"No. I just got at least fifty dollars worth of flowers and a card with an apology."
"He sent you flowers?" Janet questioned.
"Yes, very beautiful flowers. I can't remember the last time I got sent flowers."
"Me either. I think we need to find some men who would be willing to send us flowers."
"I'll talk to Daniel, I'm sure he'd send you flowers." Sam suggested.
"Oh no you won't. Cassie's spending the night at a friend's house. Do you want to go on a girl's night out."
"I can't, I already have plans already, can I take a rain check?"
"Sure. Anything interesting?" Janet inquired.
"I think the Colonel is planning on grovelling, he invited me to dinner. It's probably to say thank you for staying with him as well."
"Have fun and I'll expect a full report tomorrow. Bye Sam."
"Bye Janet."
