The morning was supposed to be lazy for Sam, but hearing Stephanie's name from Desmond's mouth jerked her senses back to normal. What was this sudden possessiveness that she felt?

This sudden outspokenness wasn't something she thought that she had before, but after her near-death experience, she decided that she didn't have to be scared of everything anymore.
