11:42 PM – Sam's houseThe lights are low.The rest of the boys are in the kitchen, arguing about cereal or something stupid.But in the living room?

It's just Melinda and Sam.

He's lying across the couch, head on her chest.Her hand's running through his hair slowly.He's smiling like a golden retriever who's finally safe in the sun.

And on the TV in front of them, Call It What You Want plays quietly in the background:

"I want to wear his initial on a chain 'round my neck, chain 'round my neck / Not because he owns me / But 'cause he really knows me..."

⸻

Melinda taps record.Just a soft, steady video.No setup. No posing.

Just her fingers in his hair.His smile.The kind of contentment people don't fake.

Then—

She leans down and presses a soft kiss to his forehead.

And without a word, Sam looks up.Eyes glowing.Like this is the part he's been waiting for his whole life.

He leans up and gives her a soft, tiny kiss on the lips.

Nothing showy.Just... a thank-you.A hello.A mine.
