Summer of Sam
[ Summer of Sam: Ending B ]
Twenty minutes later, when he's washed his hands and put the kit away, Sam is standing in the bathroom again. Confident this time to complete his shave, since he'd threatened to tie Jo to the hotel bed and/or make her use the crutches in the car for the rest of the day - possibly tomorrow - maybe the next day if she didn't stay the hell on the bed at least until he'd finished putting their things to rights.
She's yelling at him, but only over the sound of the television and the water running over his razor. Got the books out, the notebooks, suggesting places to go, people to see. Things to check into. And maybe it's the afterglow talking, but it's the first time he's felt at all ready to address any of it.
"We're not going anywhere near Nebraska until it's been a week since I lied to your mom."
Well, there are still some things going unaddressed.

No-- that was only the first part. With her being gentle, making the effort. Her hair soft on his arm and her words chosen carefully, beautifully kind.
There's a kiss given to the top of her head. Or really, less a kiss, more the pressure of his lips against her hair.

So. Jo closed her eyes at the press against her hair.
And pushed it out. For now. Until. In case. Later.
