Currently it is 2000 hours at the SGC. General O'Neill was in his office going over the mission reports when there was a knock at his door.

" Enter"

Sam walked into his office a bit worried about what he would say when she handed him her resignation. 'It's either now or never' she thought. She decided that she is going to do this despite what her brain was telling her. Jack looked up at her and said "are you serious?"

"Yes"

"Why?"

"I'm not happy."

"Care to elaborate?"

She took a deep breath and said, "Very recently I have come to realize that I'm in love with someone and I can't stand not being able to be with him any longer."

'Did she just say what I think she said? Does she love me? Well here it goes.' he thought. " I except your resignation effective immediately, on one condition, that you stay as a civilian consultant."

" Ok. Thank you."

Sam started walking to the door and jack got up and said "Sam"

Sam turned around to face him with question in her eyes. Jack didn't say a word. He just stepped forward taking Sam's face in both his hands and kissed her. The sensation of his embrace shot through Sam's body from her lips right down to her toes. He broke away and asked, "Do you want a ride home?"

"I'm glad you asked that."

"So?"

"Sooner rather than later"
