Out in the hall again and alone with Veronica, Sam took a deep breath. The conversation with Lilly hadn't been nearly as hard on him as it had been for Veronica, but he hadn't been immune to the emotion in the room either, and it felt good to exhale and let some of it out. Especially since he knew they weren't done.
Just a few doors away was Logan's room, their next destination. This one might be more difficult for him, depending on how it went, but he was hopeful that it'd be alright. Mostly he expected it to feel uncomfortably like he was intruding upon a moment that ought to be theirs alone, but he'd felt that way in Lilly's room, too.
Reaching over, he ran a hand lightly through Veronica's hair and pulled her close for a moment, his hand still resting against the back of her head. "Holding up alright, Mars?"
