Summary:Not despite, but because (Sam&Jack) real short :)
Spoilers: For "Affinity" I guess...
AN:The first one in a while; I have been writing, but...I can't quite bring myself to post any of it. Thought I'd might as well get it over with with this little thing. Hope you like,

He touches her now.
Not despite the fact that she is engaged to another man,
but because of it.
He is allowed now;
to touch what he knows he can never have.
Allowed,
to brush his arm against hers at briefings;
allowed,
to take her hand and help her up, on missions;
it's safe,
to give her a hug when she leaves from their team barbecue...
It's fine.
It's okay.
He's allowed...

but he damn well wishes he wasn't...

So, there you have it, twenty words short of a drabble -- a dribble? (or is there another very technical term for it? ;p)
As always: reviews are adored:)
