Sam sat on a patio chair, watching everyone having a wonderful time. Jack walked over to her with his plate, knife, fork and beer.
"Hey, are you ok?"
"Yeah, just tired"
"It has been a long day; where is your meal?" he put his on the table.
"I'm not hungry"
"Sam you have got to keep your strength up. I'll go and get you a steak and I will not take no for an answer; I'll be right back."
"Ok"
Jack went to get Sam a piece of steak and some salad. He then grabbed some silverware and walked back to where she was sitting. Then he put it down in front of her.
"Here, eat this."
She turned and looked at her plate and then picked up her knife and fork; she knew that Jack was watching her.
"What's the matter sweetheart?"
"I'm scared Jack"
"About what?" he asked as he took a bite of his steak.
"About us, our first time, you know, our wedding night"
Jack put down his knife and fork and then he held onto Sam's hands while looking into her eyes.
"Sam, do you trust me?"
"Yes, you know I do."
"Well then, when we do set a date and get married, our wedding night is going to be special for the both of us. I know that you will be scared, but I promise you that we are going to take it slow, ok?"
"Ok"
"Now eat up, everything is going to be ok and I love you."
"I love you too Jack" she said, with a small smile and then they ate their dinner. Afterwards, they mingled, talking and laughing with their guests.
Later that night, after everything was cleaned up and everyone was gone, Jack gave Sam a kiss and hug before she left for her house. Jacob, Mark and his family were staying with her.
