Dated January 1st

Sam was nervous. Not just a little nervous either, but like a lot nervous. The kind of nervous where he just didn't stop talking and he rambled on and on. He hoped that Cassie didn't think he was worried or scared. It was more of an excited nervous.

It had helped that they had done a lot of stuff up until now. Being naked with each other on a semi-regular basis and engaging is sexual acts that weren't quite sex had helped a lot. That didn't mean this still wasn't kind of a huge step, even if for no other reason than they'd been avoiding it for a while, giving it significance.

When they stepped into his apartment, he took his coat off of Cassie's shoulders where he had put it when they started to walk home so that she didn't get too cold.

"Have I told you in the last five minutes you were the most gorgeous person there tonight?"
