I didn't intentionally make the ending Sam/Jack. Wasn't even thinking about it actually, especially not to surprise the non-shippers, lol.
Maybe I need a general warning that all my stories can potentially contain shippy references even the gen ones because I seem to subconsciously add it.
Still I think the scene stands. Jack chased Sam because she's the woman he spends most of his time with, if he's lusting after anyone it would be her. Or maybe it's just my interpretation of lust being not just some animalistic urge to jump anybody of the opposite sex. I think of lust as more having to do with familiarity. He wouldn't have to be closer or "know" the woman, per say, but he'd have to know of her, see her around, something like that to be lusting after her.
I suppose there could be some random hot nurse in the infirmary he's lusting after but Sam is the main character so... she wins.
Sigh... damn interpretations. It's giving me a headache, lol. Not that I don't mind discussing and debating this stuff, just trying to do it while editing a huge story, with a baby in my arms (who keeps yanking on my bracelet and whacking me in the face) with cramps and my husband screaming at his Madden game in the background... not conducive to intelligent thought.
