SITTING in Sam’s Explorer, staring through the windshield at the two-story wooden house, those idyllic moments of the previous day seemed a lifetime ago.

“I’m not sure I’m ready for this,” Gary muttered.

Sam patted his leg. “You’ll be fine. Just remember to look her in the eye.” He tilted his head and grinned. “And you did remember the garlic and the wooden stake, right?”

Gary blinked.

Sam burst out laughing. “She’s not that bad.”

Gary fixed him with a hard stare. “I’m sorry, but I’m finding it difficult to take this situation lightly.”

Just like that, Sam’s mood changed. “Hey, what’s wrong?” He spoke softly, his voice reminiscent of the Sam who’d sat next to him on that rock.

“This… this is important,” Gary stressed. “If we can convince your parents that we’re a couple, we can convince anyone.” It had been the only thing he’d thought about all night. He’d loved the day they’d shared, but once he’d gotten that thought into his head, the bubble had well and truly burst.

This was reality.

“Just be yourself,” Sam said, his gaze focused on Gary’s face. “If she starts asking awkward questions, I’ll deflect her, all right? But I promise you, it won’t be that bad. And she’s sworn she’ll be on her best behavior.” He smirked. “Which isn’t saying much.”

“Not helping,” Gary growled.

Sam chuckled. “I was trying to make you laugh.” Then his eyes widened. “Damn. I nearly forgot.” He reached into the breast pocket of his shirt and pulled out a gold band. “This was my granddad’s. He left it to me.”

Gary stared at it, confused. He sought refuge in humor. “Senator Dalton. My, this is so sudden.”

Sam guffawed. “Yeah, she’s going to love you.” He held up the ring. “What did I say in that press conference? Something about you finding a surprise in your Christmas stocking?”

Gary’s mouth fell open. “Shit.”

“Exactly. My mom remembers everything.”

Gary winced. “Whoa. It must have sucked to be you growing up.”

“You have no idea.” He took Gary’s left hand. “This is probably not going to fit, but here goes….” The only finger it fit on was his middle finger. Sam shrugged. “Better than nothing. It’s slightly too big for your ring finger, but there’s always the possibility that if you wear it on that one, it could fall off. When she remarks on it—and she will—I’ll come up with a plausible excuse. And try not to lose it. It’s just for today, anyway.” He smiled and gave Gary a quick peck on the lips. “Now let’s get in there before she sends out the Marines to find us.”

Gary stilled him with a gentle hand to his arm. “Does it get easier?” When Sam gave him an inquiring look, Gary smiled. “Being more… physical with me. Like that little peck just now.”

Sam flushed. “The funny thing is, I did that without thinking. It just felt… right.”

Slowly Gary leaned closer. “That’s because it was right,” he whispered. He didn’t wait for Sam’s reaction, but brushed his lips against Sam’s, the movement light and fleeting.
