Why This Must Be Read: In the wake of Need, Daniel has to repair the friendships and relationships he broke while under the influence of the sarcophagus. In this beautiful story, Daniel musters the courage to heal his friendship with Sam - over overpriced coffee, quiet confessions, and the unspoken bond the two of them share.


Daniel stepped closer and then stopped, hesitating as if he was afraid of getting too close.

"Sam." She pulled her eyes away from the computer and forced herself to look at him. "I've been making the rounds. I've already apologized to the airman I attacked. And Janet and Teal'c and...Jack. Jack was a hard one. But I saved you for last because..." He smiled a little, sadly. "Well, because I'm not sure I know what to say. But I think the conversation would go a little easier with over-priced coffee."

He gave her another little smile and Sam sighed. "You're driving."

"No, actually you're driving," Daniel said. "I'm not cleared for that yet. But I'm paying."

Sam stood up and stretched, cramped muscles screaming in relief. "Oh, you bet you are," she said.
