Not long after me and Sam first met, she asked what I would have done if she hadn’t found me.  I joked about getting a lot more sleep for one.  She offered to help me out if sleep was that important.  Dangerous offer there.  I told her that the first thing a man says is never most important, it is a delaying tactic while he thinks of something better to say.  That intrigued her, and she told me to continue.  The secret of our relationship is that I never stopped.
