An Apple a Day

SAMUEL stretch out my life & pick the seams out Sam was not expecting such a strong reaction to the name of Nate's new lover but he revelled in it, enjoying Amalia's spite when it fuelled his own. He didn't know much about Sunjata's past loves, but it sounded like he hadn't been very good to them: Sam was even more glad that his attempt to romance the man one ill-advised evening had been unsuccessful. Amalia putting her hand on his shoulder was a further comfort and he smiled at it, feeling for the first time like he had a chance of being a true sibling to her. "Thank you, that's kind of you to say." Their relationship was still new enough that he couldn't keep his eyes on hers for too long and he turned to pick more apples after that, reaching high to make sure he got all the ones he could. [FIN] take what you like, but close my ears and eyes, watch me stumble over and over.
