Re: Sam/Jenna
"Don't even say things like that." She said shaking her head at him and wrinkling her nose. She liked cooler weather, she didn't like cold. She wanted a happy medium between the hot days in Afghanistan and the weather they had here. "Cooler doesn't mean cold." She pointed out.
Jenna bit her lip and shrugged, she hated this - how off kilter she felt around her dad. She'd never had this problem when she was on her cruises over the summers, never felt the need for some sort of validation that she had been doing the cruises at all was validation enough for her at the time. Suddenly here though she felt like she needed something more - maybe because they were all living together, trying to be a family, she didn't know for sure.
"It's not the time that worries me." She wasn't sure how to make use of all the time they had now - it was so much more than what they'd ever had before and she didn't know how to fill all of it. "If we talk about it and you tell me about him and your relationship that makes him part of the family - more than just the sort of family that comes along with being a part of the same team or being your partner." She knew, and she was pretty sure her dad knew that too. And it seemed silly to pretend when they both knew who they were talking about, but she kept right on. "I'm having a hard enough time with us." She waved a hand between them. "I don't know how to bring him into this too."
