Sam pulled herself up, took the CD and walked towards the stereo. (A/N: I know…most hotel rooms don't have it so just pretend they are at a really nice room)
As she opened the case, she saw another note. This time it is from Cassie.
"Well, what do we have here" said Jack who had followed Sam and had wrapped his arms around Sam's waist and rest his chin on her shoulder. Sam picked up the note so that both of them can read it at the same time.
Sam,
I found this song and Mom agreed that it's the prefect song for you two. Listen carefully to the lyrics; I think you'll find it very appropriate to the situation.
Love
Cassie
Sam put the CD in and slow and soothing background music started to fill up the room. Jack turned Sam around and close the distance between the two and the two of them began slowly dancing to the music.
Another day
Without your smile
Another day
just passes by
But now I know
How much it means
For you to
stay
Right here with me
The time we spent apart will make
our love grow stronger
But it hurt so bad I can't take it any
longer
I wanna grow old with you
I wanna die lying in your
arms
I wanna grow old with you
I wanna be looking in your
eyes
I wanna be there for you
Sharing everything you do
I
wanna grow old with you
A thousand miles between us now
It
causes me to wonder how
Our love tonight remains so strong
It
makes our risk right all along
Things can come and go I know but
Baby I
believe
Something's burning strong between us
Makes it clear to
me
I wanna grow old with you
I wanna die lying in your
arms
I wanna grow old with you
I wanna be looking in your
eyes
I wanna be there for you
Sharing everything you do
I
wanna grow old with you
The music ended but the two of them continued to dance to their own music.
"That was nice. Except for the dying part"
"Don't wanna die in my arms?" Sam joked.
"Nope. Don't plan on dying for at least another 40 years" Sam chuckled.
"I don't think that's the reason they picked this song for us" Sam said.
"No?"
"No. I think it's because they can't stand you moping around the base like a lost puppy and they are trying to tell you that it's okay to admit it because they knew." Sam smiled. She has such wonderful friends who just love to see Jack squirm since it happens so rarely.
"I did no such thing. Air Force Colonels do not mope." Jack quickly comes to his defense.
Without looking, Sam can tell that Jack has a smile on his face. He too feels blessed to have their friends in their life. Even though he would not admit it to them. He's not a guy who says those kinds of things; he shows them just like now. He had Sam in his arms to show her how much he misses her.
"Ok. So you didn't mope. But I bet you were driving them crazy because without me, you don't have anyone to bug when you are bored."
"I guess it's time for bed. You are starting to sound delirious. Come on sleepy head"
"Is that an invitation?"
