1.
Oh right, thought Sam
2.
” Sam went to shower whilst Tatania arose from the massage table with some relief, shaking her head
3.
This had to be the longest relationship Sam had had for a long time
4.
” Sam ended the call and used the rougher towel to stimulate his skin before dressing
5.
” Sam assumed his adoring look as he followed her to the limousine
6.
Sam looked around
7.
He appeared to view Sam as a peculiar species of alien, and so he failed
8.
Tatania dragged him from one VIP to another, introducing him before dominating the conversation with amusing epithets about speculative inappropriate behaviour from Sam
9.
Sam realised he was out of his depth, even if she had given him the chance, which Tatania apparently had no intention of doing
10.
Sam had just finished his masterclass in Nutritional awareness, and was preparing his papers to leave, when the auburn haired model approached his table
11.
“Oh Sam, hi, we have a very special item here today
12.
” Sam handed the phial of one of his more expensive product lines over to Harriet
13.
Sam proceeded down the stone corridor to the sunlounge, where Tatania was dancing by herself with a gin in one hand, looking very pleased with herself
14.
Sam was surprised at the crowds at the Oodle Festival, held just outside Berlin in the July of that year
15.
Sam was surprised that his ears were suddenly so sensitive to the unfamiliar music
16.
His face fell when he saw Sam in his uncharacteristically miserable state
17.
” Sam sipped his tea
18.
” Sam was instantly more upright in his chair
19.
“Confused, you will be, Sam
20.
Sam was not sure he really wanted the ball, but he got up from the sofa and straightened himself out
21.
“Honestly Aldous, that horrid man is SO AGGRAVATING! I HAVE to marry him!” Sam allowed himself an uncertain smile at the shrieks of laughter from Kira and Aldous as they cheerfully returned to work
22.
Boy! Was I relieved! It was my friend Sam!
23.
I started to tell Sam all about the football game
24.
Of course I didn't tell Sam that our team was probably doing just as much
25.
The time I spent with Sam was worth it as long as I was not grounded
26.
After they finished eating, she asked Sam if he had any soup
27.
“Haven’t I been saying that all along?” Sam admonished her; “we have to set up a defense by ourselves, Kate
28.
But Sam had said she was over seventy!
29.
I asked the little guy to say something to Sam
30.
That seemed to carry some weight with Sam, so he gave it
31.
You don’t have to be afraid of me Sam; I would not harm you or Lucy
32.
” She replied and then added; “now, lets go see Sam and Lucy
33.
Sam pulled Kate aside and gave her his choices for riders
34.
Sam could see that there was a bond between them that had become very strong
35.
Sam said you had a very good head on your shoulders
36.
Sam gave me an impressive list, but I believe he missed by one
37.
She knew she would have to explain all this to Sam and Lucy
38.
Daniel and Kate spotted Sam and caught his eye
39.
She wants to be a rider Sam, and we’ve accepted her
40.
Sam had seen some resentment building and had spoken at length with Jake about it
41.
SAM: She was in a state of shock and anxiety
42.
SAM: I will read from my report
43.
SAM: I prescribed a small dose of a sedative for her
44.
She consults her notes and smiles at SAM
45.
SAM looks bewildered
46.
SAM: Yes, I just said that
47.
SAM: That is a correct assumption
48.
SAM: Give her two of these pills
49.
Kate went to the Great Hall to inform Sam and Lucy that Sally had gone thru the change and she was spent; she had gone home with Michael to rest for a while
50.
“Well, I can’t think of a better husband for her than Michael,” Sam said cheerfully trying to ease Lucy’s pain
51.
“She will always be my little girl Kate,” she sobbed as she leaned against Sam
52.
“Ah, my Lucy, you should be proud of her,” Sam told her gently
53.
Sam said he would go to keep an eye on them
54.
As they stepped out onto the mesa they saw Sam climbing off of Jake’s back
55.
I went to the town and called for Sam
56.
Sam had pulled everyone into the mess hall and informed of what was taking place
57.
Sam was dumbfounded by the actions of the great cat
58.
Sam ran over to Daniel and Kate
59.
“Oh yes, it was that cat, only more!” Sam and several of the men agreed on that point
60.
Sam had arranged a small feast and a cheery welcome for them
61.
I’m Sam, and this is Lucy, my wife
62.
They met Sam on his way to prepare breakfast
63.
Firing off questions as they went they followed him into the cave and Sam put them all to work
64.
She was feeling much better a couple of hours later when Sam came to her
65.
Kate, with Michael and Steve’s help had taken Sam and Big John and about four dragons with her to the town warehouse and stocked up on food and drink and ammo
66.
She and Michael had informed Sam and Lucy first that they were going to be grandparents; news that thrilled Lucy so much so that she bawled like a baby
67.
Sam was touched that Lucy thought of them as her parents
68.
” He perked up when Sam came back to the table with two large steaming plates of food
69.
Kate was the one who broke the mystery, “Lucy, you and Sam have lived with us and the Dragons from the very beginning
70.
Who else can heal as they can? Who else can restore a body to perfection as they can do? I think this is a gift from them to you and Sam
71.
They all met and then Lucy told Sam the good news
72.
Sam looked at Lucy with new eyes after that, he was very caring and gentle with her
73.
Sam went to the town and spent several days at the Library
74.
And then came the day that he announced to Sam that Lucy was going to have twins
75.
The mountain thundered as the Dragons roared their approval; and Sam fainted again
76.
Sam came forward and threw his large arms around Jake’s lowered head
77.
Sam came over and chastised her and then gave her a big hug
78.
Sally and Sam turned as she came up to them
79.
” Sam said teasingly
80.
As they entered the house they heard Sam shouting, “Where is that blasted doctor? He should be here by now!”
81.
“I can’t think of a greater way to honor them Sam; Jake will be pleased when he hears
82.
Throwing on my jeans and a jumper, I grab an apple and take Sam out for a run
83.
The others don’t notice that they’ve gone; Katie’s far too engrossed in talking to Jake to notice that Abi has disappeared and Ben’s playing with Sam
84.
Abi beams and goes off to join Ben playing with Sam
85.
Sam comes to greet me as I open the door but she’s obviously finding it an effort … dear Sam, what would I do without you? I quickly change my clothes and take her out into the garden … she sniffs around quite happily … maybe it is just stiffness … I shiver … although the rain has stopped there are still dark clouds which look threatening
86.
Heymon sent Lite Colonel Anderson to assist in finding the error and he brought Sam Langston with him
87.
I load the car; Sam settles in her place on the passenger seat
88.
Sam sniffs round the flat, obviously remembering being here before and pointedly standing waiting for me to put her bowl in the place it was last time
89.
‘But what about Sam, Mum? You can’t take her to Italy
90.
’ I said, mortified that I could have overlooked Sam
91.
Sam is walking along with her tongue hanging out of the side of her mouth – it must be hot in a fur coat
92.
Sam is very pleased to see the water and laps it up noisily
93.
Rob is sleeping on the futon in the office and takes Sam and her basket in with him
94.
What on earth can be the matter? In a bolt of realisation it comes to me – Sam! I’m just about to throw off the duvet when the door opens again and Simon comes back in
95.
‘Anna, I’m so sorry about Sam
96.
Haltingly, Sally asks if they can come and be with us – they knew Sam well and it’s almost as though a member of our community has gone
97.
Sam will lie peacefully there
98.
‘Anna, I’m so sorry to hear about Sam
99.
I explain that Rob is with her and that they’re going to bury Sam in the garden
100.
I don’t know what I would have done with Sam now we are moving to Italy – I could not have taken her with me … so it’s probably for the best
