Hotel
Sam got off the cab, going over in her mind what had happened today. Well, you can't really say it's bad, I mean, it's not everyday you got ask to dinner by an Air Force Colonel. Okay, whom am I kidding; today's probably the worst day ever! Not trying to sound ungrateful at the attention Colonel Thomson gave her, but like she said before, there's only one Colonel that she's interested in. All right girl, happy thoughts, you got enough headache for a day so forget all that and bring on the rainbows and bunnies. Sam slowly entered the hotel lobby and started walking toward the elevator.
"Ms Samantha Carter?" Someone was calling her name from the front desk.
"Yes?" Sam replied tiredly. Guess dinner and bath will have to wait, I'll probably drop dead and fall sleep the second my head touches the pillow.
"This just arrived for you." The Clerk handed over a small package and a small bouquet of flowers.
"Thank you." Sam said surprised as she gathered the package and flowers in her arms along with her brief case.
"Your welcome. Enjoy you stay, ma'am." The Clerk gave Sam a smile and went off helping the old lady that just entered through the door.
This must be the "care package" Janet was talking about. As Sam stood there wondering what the package contains, she noticed a small card attached to the flowers. It was written in Daniel's flourish handwriting:
Dear Sam,
Sorry to hear that you have to stay at Washington instead of with us here. Hopefully this will cheer you up. Remember; don't work too hard, other wise we might have to send Jack over to baby-sit you!
Daniel
Sam couldn't help it but smile and closed her eyes to smell the sweet sent the flowers were giving off. Suddenly she felt much better and calmer. Perhaps today's not so bad after all. Sam again gathered her stuff and took the elevator to her room. She couldn't help but wondered what is inside the package, although she was sure that whatever it is, she would love it because it's from her friends.
A/N: This is a short one but don't worry, everything will come together soon and Sam will eventually see Jack, probably in the next chapter if nothing special comes up. So again, bear with me.
