Why This Must Be Read: In the wake of Forever in a Day, Sam gets Daniel out of the SGC for a chance to clear his head, both literally and figuratively. The warmth of friendship, the courage to move forward, and unstinting support -- it's all here, and it's all good.


"Sometimes...," Daniel started, but didn't continue. He felt lost for words, as was often the case when the topic were his own memories or feelings.

Sam stopped and faced Daniel. And Daniel knew that he could trust her. That somehow she knew what it was like. After what had happened with Jolinar, Sam also had memories of events that had never happened to her.

"Sometimes I wonder whether I ever woke up. Whether this is real," he whispered.

Sam nodded. "And you don't want it to be real," she stated so gently he could barely hear it.

"No, I don't. I just want to wake up."
