The Flame of Franco
Safe Harbour…
After coming back home from the PCPD, Jason and Sam spent some alone time on the couch. Sam was shaken up from having to relive what had happened to her. She wanted to be alone but Jason was afraid to let her out of his sight. He never wanted to leave her along again.
She curled herself up into a ball on the far end of the couch as Jason closed the door behind him. He looked over at her, studying her from a distance before taking off his leather jacket and hanging it up in the hall closet.
The penthouse was quiet, just like it had been when they left it. Spinelli was either still asleep or he was out somewhere with Maxie. Spinelli had been absent recently from the penthouse. He was keep his respectable distance from Sam. He knew she needed space.
Jason just hated how quiet it had become. He missed hearing the vibrating of Spinelli's music coming from his room. Or the loud laughter of Maxie and Sam gossiping in the kitchen. During those times, he would have wished for his peace and quiet in his home. But now it was too much. He missed the noise.
"Do you want me to get you anything?" asked Jason softly towards her.
Sam lifted her head and looked over at him. "I want you to sit with me," she whispered back. Her eyes filling slightly with tears.
Jason nodded his head at this. He would do anything for her. He walked around the edge of the couch and took a seat beside her. She smiled a slight smile at him before she smuggled up against him. Being with him, made her feel safe. His embrace was a safe harbour for her. It was a place that would do no harm to her.
He followed by wrapping his arm around her shoulder and taking her hand with his other. They stayed like this for the longest time. Listening to each other breathing.
It brought peace to Sam, laying there with Jason. It gave her a reality check. That she could move on from what had happened to her. That life did go on. She just had allow herself the time to heal.
Okay, I know it was a very short chapter. But I promise more will be coming soon!
