Sam’s POV
“I love you too. I have for a long time.” I tell her as I cup her cheeks she doesn’t say anything, just pulls me down into a passionate kiss that expresses how she feels. “I love you so much Samantha Mily.” She says with a smile as we pull apart a permanent smile on my face. We are interrupted by her phone ringing. We both look down to see who it is. “I don’t want to talk to him.” She says putting her head on my shoulder. “He can go to voicemail. “Scar I know we literally just admitted our feelings less than five minutes ago but will you? You know what, never mind it’s probably too early. You just got out of a relationship less than 24 hours ago.” I say. “Yes.” Is all she says. “How did you know what I was going to ask?” I ask, looking her in the eye. “I’ve known you for 26 years. But we can take it slow right?” She says. “Of course I’m not going to rush you into anything you aren’t comfortable with.” I tell her as I brush some hair from her face. “What time is it?” She asks. “Like six in the evening.” I tell her. “Oh shit we have dinner with my mom at seven remember.” She says. “We should get ready then.” I say.

“You still have them?” I ask slightly surprised to see that she still wears my old dog tags. “It’s a little bit of you that I can always have with me.” She says, running her fingers over them, making me smile. “You're my safe place.” She adds, as she comes over to me and helps finishing the buttons on my shirt. “I will always be your safe place as long as you let me.” I say giving her a kiss on the head so I don’t ruin her make up.

“Should we tell them?” Scarlett asks. “If you want and Hunt hasn’t already.” I tell her. “Ok let’s do this.” She says knocking on the door her other arm is still linked in mine. Vanessa answers the door and looks at our arms and gives us a knowing smile. “Well come in love birds. Hunter told everyone everything and I mean everything.” Vanessa says as we walk in. When I see Karsten he doesn’t look happy. Karsten didn’t talk to Scarlett or I the whole evening. “Well I have to get up early for my flight back to Copanhagen.” He says getting up. “Dad, wait I’ll walk you out.” Scarlett says.

Scarlett’s POV
“Dad what’s wrong you haven’t said a word to me or Sam all evening?” I ask once the door is closed. “I don’t think you should be with her. You should get back with Ryan.” He says. “Dad. Ryan broke it off over the fucking phone. I don’t want to be with him, a part of me never did. I’m glad it’s over to be honest. Because I love her, not him.” I tell him. “I just don’t want to see you hurt. Do you not remember what her parents did? The abused becomes the abuser.” He says. “That’s not always true and you know it. She would never hurt me. I can’t believe you would even suggest that she would. Dad, you have known her since she was born. You were there because Mom had me an hour after her mom had her. You worked with her dad. You know her, you know the kind of person she is. Maybe it is best if you go.” I tell him, holding back tears. “Goodnight Scarlett.” He says getting into the cab he called. I walk back inside and Sam knows something is wrong with one look she gets up and rushes to me. “Baby talk to me.” She says, wrapping her arms around me. “Sammy, can we go home?” I ask. “Of course Hun. Let’s say good night to everyone then we can go ok.” She says without letting me go and I nod. “Hey guys Scarlett’s got a headache we’re going to head out. Dinner was amazing as always Mama Sloan. Goodnight everyone.” She says before ushering us out. She opens the truck door for me like she always does something I’ve noticed she only does for me. The minute we get on the road to her place I break down. “Hey Baby what is it?” She asks softly. “He said the abused becomes the abuser.” I tell her and her eyes tear up so she pulls over. “Scarlett, look at me.” She tells me grabbing my hand gently. “I. Will. Never. Hurt. You.” She tells me. “I know that I know. I just wish he would believe that.” I tell her. “Do you want me to talk to him to reassure him you are safe with me?” She asks. “No, I don't know if it’ll work. Let’s just go home.” I say. “Ok, how about Dairy Queen on the way because you know there’s one about two miles from my house.” She suggests. “That sounds amazing right now.” I tell her.

We get home after our little detour and get ready for bed. “Are you going to um uh.” She stutters. “Sleep in here?” I ask and she nods. “Do you want me too?” I ask. “Only if you’re comfortable with that.” She says. “I will cling to you like a koala, you know that right?” I ask. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.” She smiles so I climb into bed and we get settled with her arm around me, our legs intertwined. “Goodnight Scar.” She says giving me a kiss. “Goodnight Sam.” I reply giving her another kiss.
