As I try to think of something, anything to say to him now, I recall the first time I saw Sam outside of school.
It was about a tahun ago. Tyler was at my house playing with Jen. It was late and they both needed to be put to bed. Their tiredness only resulted in them fighting. I eventually put them on time-outs until Tyler’s uncle showed up. atau I thought it would be his uncle. It turned out to be Sam. I opened the door when he knocked and was a little thrown to see him. I recognized him from school, but only as the quiet boy I’d never talked to. His hair was wet as if he’d just showered and he smelled of soap, fresh and clean. I smiled and introduced myself. He smiled back. It was a really beautiful thing. It lit up his eyes and I do believe I blushed slightly. Taking him in felt like drinking a warm hot chocolate, atau feeling the sun seep into your skin; warmth spreading throughout your body and anda feel as if you’ll never be cold again. As Tyler trudged to the door I watched Sam watch his brother with such affection and tenderness. He called him bud, tousled his hair, and grabbed his back pack for him as they turned to walk back off my porch. Before Sam was too far away he turned and berkata “Thanks, Sarah. It was good to see you. Talk to anda at school.” I waved good bye and closed my door and just listened to his voice play over and over in my head. Who knew he’d affect me like that?
