Erik was hard to forget. Given the circumstances of how they'd met, Sam was tempted to say it was downright impossible. All the same, they hadn't spoken since that day. Possibly because Sam had turned into a bit of a hermit since then.
She was getting better now.
Well, Sam's version of better, anyway. At least she was actually leaving the inn a minimum of two times per day. It was her own self-inflicted rule. The better to actually be human with, or something.
She'd decided to head over to the other village, maybe do some sketches of one of the gardens she'd discovered. But she hadn't gone more than a few paces when she spotted Erik, making the exact same face her grandmother used to make when she saw Sam eating a blue raspberry lollipop. The kind that made her teeth and tongue blue.
If only she could see Sam's hair now.
For a moment, she considered just walking on. But she was trying to do this whole 'have social skills' thing, so she paused, shifting her weight from one foot to another before settling on a very appropriate, "Hey?"
