I pull away from his embrace. "Thanks again, Sam. Really. It means a lot." I give him a quick smile and walk through the doorway onto the ledge. "By the way, here." I toss him his gun back. "I don't know how to use it anyway." I laugh. He smiles down at the gun while twirling it in his hands.
"Maybe I could show you sometime, ya know, self defense and all."
"That would be great, but I doubt we'll see each other again."
"Ya, you're probably right." I can tell something's wrong.
"What's wrong?" I step back into the room and he looks back up at me.
"What? Nothing! Why would you think anythings wrong?"
"Oh. Never mind then." I step back out onto the ledge.
"Wait! You're right there is something wrong. Where are you gonna go? What if a Guard finds you? What if Rodger finds you?"
"Sam, I can't think like that. Just trust that I'll be okay."
"I can't do that." He takes a step towards me.
"Why? What makes me so different from all of the other Glorians you let loose?" It's kind how he wants to protect me, but he needs to know that I can take care of myself.
"I.. I don't know." He looks back at the floor. "You're beautiful, and you have the determination to move and keep moving. I admire that about you." We lock eyes again, he smiles at me.
I don't know what to say. I'm speechless and absolutely taken aback by his choice of words. They were perfect. What he said to me was perfect.
