Sam was brooding again. Annie could hear him brooding. It wasn’t an actual sound. She wasn’t pompous enough to think she could read anyone’s mind, least of all Sam’s, but it was like she knew when he needed her.

She tottered round to his desk, and noticed that he had taken to a new position for brooding. Where he used to sit back, arms folded, head to the ceiling, he now preferred to lie his head on the desk, covering his ears. She peered down at him, fighting the sudden urge to ruffle his hair.

“Sam?” poking at his shoulder. He didn’t have his coat on, and Annie, liked it when he had the light coloured shirts on… they were just nearly see through.

“Mmmmfpf?” he replied, darting up, thinking Ray or the Guv had discovered him sleeping.

Annie chuckled, and Sam relaxed for one of those rare moments that Annie, took, remembered completely, and hid away, hoping she would one day only see this Sam. Her Sam.

Sam let his head hit the desk with a large thud, and looked back up slowly. “What’s up Annie?”

“um… I….” She hadn’t actually thought about what she was going to say. Oh I just woke you up, so that I could check you were all right and look into your eyes for an insane amount of time? Mmmm that didn’t sound right. “I thought that… youmightneedsomeonetotalkto!” she blurted out as fast as she could.

Sam looked up into her eyes, and she felt she were being trapped in the warm brown centre. She was drowning but it wasn’t painful. She was drowning in something else. Something that made her feel a thrill of excitement. She just didn’t know what it was.

“Annie” He paused as if reconsidering what he was going to say “What made you think I wasn’t ok?”

She silently blushed to her roots. “Well… sometimes…. I get the feeling…. You are brooding… and then I usually come to cheer you up…” Her eyes looking at anything but him, possibly more to keep her self distracted, than from shame.

“Annie! That is… possibly… no for sure, the nicest thing, anyone has ever done, or said to me. That’s why you always show up with a milkshake and a chocolate biscuit!” He smiled that genuine smile, and Annie’s heart skipped a beat. He threw himself out of his chair. Bounding round to Annie, he pulled her into a hug, which only he knew, that he had designed just so he could nuzzle her neck. He never knew she had designed this just so she could smell his shirt collar, which was always fresh smelling, unlike the Guv’s usual smell of smoke and drink.

“Oi! Gladys! Offa her! We all know who’s the Butch, and who’s the bitch in that relationship, and it ain’t you Dorothy!” He stomped off, laughing to himself, more than anyone else.

“Think of the Devil, and he shall appear…” Annie muttered under her breath.

“You were thinking of Gene while hugging me?? Wanna tell me something?” he was laughing, while raising an eyebrow

“Well it wasn’t that I was thinking of him… I was thinking of how nice you smell, and then I compared it to the stink that comes of the Guv, and then he bloody well appeared!” She turned read again.

“Annie, Annie, Annie… are you saying you like smelling me?” Sam’s eyes were glittering in amusement now.

She glared at him, dumbstruck at his jubilant attitude. “What if I do?” She dared him

“Well” He said linking his fingers together, in the annoying way he did “You should have said earlier! I could have obliged… a lot more!” He grinned wickedly

“Are you trying to come on to me? The high and mighty Tyler?” Well if he was going there, she certainly could too. She winked and went to walk away from his desk.

He grabbed her round the waist and twirled her round with a flourish. “No you don’t! If you’re going somewhere, I am coming too!”

“You are? That’s nice to know!” She winked again; she was enjoying herself more than she had in a good while.

“Oh I never knew you had your mind in the gutter Miss Cartwright! Well come on, let’s go!” He ushered her out of the station.

Phyllis smiled knowingly as they left the station, as Ray sniped “Well at least they got a fucking room this time” Phyllis slapped him over the head with a file “And you! You can shut up! Twat!” and she stormed off. Somehow though for the rest of that day, everyone had a little smile on their faces.

If Sam and Annie could work it out, maybe there was hope for everyone after all.
