How did you meet Sam? Kate asks
I met her at your funeral and we stayed in touch right after I resigned she called and wanted to know if I could come out there I got a flight that night and was there the next day. She told me about Susan and I met her a little later and we talked about you. I bought a house there and spent as much time with Susan as I could I would babysit so they could go out. Or if they had meetings the night they were killed I was watching Susan and the police came to inform me about the accident. Two weeks later we moved here.
