Kahless21- thanks for reviewing! Yes, it does seem confusing at the beginning I understand. I'm attempting to tell the story as a reminiscence- so that Sam is reflecting back on past events. Hopefully I'll get it to work out right. Thanks for taking the time to give me advice. :)
Thanks to everyone else who reviewed. :)
Hope chapter two fills things in a bit better… okay here we go.
Flashback
'Sir!' Sam exclaimed as she ran down the corridor of the SGC to greet her CO. 'Hey!' She said, stopping to catch her breath.
Jack smiled at her. 'Hey yourself Carter. How're ya doin'?' He asked her casually.
'Great sir!'
He flashed her another smile. 'I can see that. What's the good news?'
'I'm engaged. Pete proposed.' She said beaming while twirling the ring on her index finger.
Jack felt a tightening in his chest, like a knife had been thrust in and twisted around his heart.
'Congratulations Sam.' He whispered, his voice growing hoarse. He cleared his throat to regain his composure. 'He's a lucky guy.' Jack stated, trying to hide the regret in his voice.
'Thanks sir.' Sam said and leaned forward to give him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Jack smiled weakly at her as they pulled away from each other.
'Well…um…good luck?'
'You too sir.'
Jack nodded and quickly swept past her walking in the direction of his office.
End of flashback
Sam felt a tiny drop of rain splatter against her skin. The coolness of the miniature droplet seeped through her. The sky started to cloud over with a dark depressing gray.
'I should have known then.' Sam thought to herself. 'I should have told him how I felt. But it wasn't possible. It…we would never happen. I needed to move on and so did he.'

Okay…I know you must all probably hate me. :) But I promise to write more soon. Please let me know if the flashback method is okay. It must seem terribly confusing. Please let me know if I should continue. Thanks so much for reviewing.
