Melissa & Sam
"I'm glad you guys found it." He meant that sincerely. Having space was always important. He'd grown up without a space of his own. He was a huge believer in the necessity of having it, at any age.
"It'll be nice having Tea closer, too." They were family by choice. At least one thing Sam's dad had done right, or something like that. If John hadn't taken Tea as his Ward for the brief time he'd been in town, Tea and Sam probably wouldn't have the relationship they had now. It was a small thing, really, in the grand scheme of things, but it was something he could give his father credit for.
