In a booth, Charlie is trying to feed Seth from a jar of crushed plums. Seth has several purple-ish blobs on his face, and has gotten very little of the fruit into his mouth. Woe.

"Alright, tale for tale." Sam thought for a moment. "We sat in the bathtub his mom died in, and he cried, just one tear, for the first time in...forever." She bit her lip, getting a faraway look on her face. "It was then, I knew completely that I loved him...and I only wanted him, and the rest of the guys in the world didn't matter."

He nods, smiling a little. Seth looks solemn in the way babies do.

"I was sick, like I said, when I got here. Um. Heroin withdrawls." He focuses on Seth. "And Bartleby, when we first talked, said he would help me if it got bad--too bad for me to bear. So a night or two later it was--it hurt. It hurt bad.

"So I went to Bartleby's room and he helped me--he took some of the pain away. Um. He's an angel. Well, ex-angel now. Another story. And he held me and kept me warm and told me a story about a frog.

"And that's when I fell in love with him."

Sam looks at him looking slightly like she might cry. But she won't. Purposefully.

"That's so sweet...and...just...wow." Sam's speechless, which is a hard thing to accomplish.

Charlie smiles and kisses Seth's hand. "Actually telling him came a while later, but that's another story."

"I didn't get to tell Andrew till I arrived here." Sam said softly..."I thought I'd never get the chance."

"Milliways brings people together in a weird and unpredictable way," Charlie says philosophically.

[ooc: mind if we wrap? brain is tired.]

"That's true." Sam smiles, before standing up. "I better go get something to eat...and find Andrew." She walks over and brushes a hand over Seth's soft baby-hair. "Bye Charlie, and buh-bye Seth!"

"Bye," Charlie says and waves Seth's hand bye-bye.
