Kind of me? Did you miss what happened back there? [ She gestured up toward the upstairs and the general bedroom and shower area. ] Because I thought that would have been a clue enough that even you'd pick up on it.
[ Her sarcasm would feel familiar, she and Sam had a similar sense of humor when they were making a point. She sighed deeply and nodded. ] Emotions get into everything when all you have left of family is a thing then that thing becomes family. That boat connects me to my folks and to some of the best times of my life. I thought I could sell it but I know now I can't, I never will.
And it's taught the boys plenty, they've learned a lot about work and how important it is to make good choices and not necessarily just easy choices. Sometimes you can do everything right and have a bad day out there, and that's life. You're best sometimes doesn't matter because it doesn't and you have to find a way to be ok with that and get up the next day and do it all over again. [ Which was maybe way more philosophy than had ever been applied openly to it when she was kid but she could appreciate the truth of it now. ]
But if you're offering to make new memories I can pretty much guarantee all three of us would be happy to see it. That goes for you too you know. [ Sarah leaned over and kissed just below his ear. A quick peck but it was an open display of affection in a smooth motion that just seemed completely natural. ]
