Sam had told you many a time that if you needed anything when you were out, you just had to call. It was practically drilled into your brain to the point that every time you felt out of place or upset somewhere, you told yourself that. And you hadn’t acted on it until now, when you found yourself in a quiet car ride back with Sam.

You had been at an outing with friends who seemed to act like you were never there, small inconveniences like that that finally made you take his advice.
