I'm just surprised I was able to write Sam and Jack without overt shippiness, lol. And I wasn't even intending on it.

I liked the imagery of the blacked out calendar like that would make the day go away.

That's got to be a tough day for him. I imagine people that know his history would just give him those sad, pity-filled faces or avoid him all together so I liked the idea that Sam was brave enough to call him on his issues. Of course, without ever actually saying it--just kind of being there for him. To distract him as she puts it.
