No Sugar Tonight
Of all the times to get called back to work, not that it hadn't happened to Sam a million times, but they finally had gotten a weekend to themselves. Even Cassie, a guest he wasn't expecting, had taken a hike. He was looking forward to a wonderful, relaxing and oh so private weekend with the woman he loved. But all he got was a few foul glares from Cassie, a peck on the cheek from Sam, half a sandwich, the other half of which was in his hand, and a phone call ordering him back to Denver. He flicked on the radio in his car and nearly choked on the roast beef in his mouth. "No Sugar Tonight" - that said it all. But no, there was another line, amongst the hippie, Mother Nature, mumbo jumbo, that hurt.
"Now I'm falling from her skies"
He was afraid it might be true. Everything about this relationship with Sam had been all consuming…in the beginning. It moved fast and burned hot. But there was always a part of her and of her life that she held back. Now Sam was evading the discussion of their future, side stepping talks about their wedding plans. She was incredibly busy but shouldn't she take some interest? Maybe he just wasn't getting the message. Or maybe he just needed to try harder. They needed more time alone and a place all their own to start their lives together. He'd see about that transfer to Colorado Springs and call a real estate agent. It seemed it was up to him to make this work and he was willing to do 90 percent if only things would work out between them.
