The next morning Pete woke up in Sam’s bed and noticed that she hadn’t returned last night. He knew that her work was important and that the problem must have been big. He got up and had a shower and went to make some coffee, when he heard the front door open.
“Sam, are you up yet” Cassie called as she walked into the house with Sam’s bags, already knowing that she was on her honeymoon and that Pete was in the house. Pete walked out from the kitchen when he heard Cassie’s voice. She saw him,
“Pete?”
“Cassie, Sam isn’t here.”
“Oh, she must be still at work then. I’m here to drop these off for her” and she showed him the bags.
“Ok; do you want some coffee?”
“No thanks, I’ll put these in her bedroom and head on home, thanks anyway” Cassie went and put Sam’s things in her bedroom and then walked out.
“Bye”
“Yeah, see ya” then Cassie was gone.
Pete left to visit with Mark for a while and he left a message for Sam before leaving. When he arrived at the hotel room and knocked on the door, Mark answered it.
“Pete, hi come on in.”
“Thanks”
He walked in and stopped when he saw Jacob sitting at the table playing with his grand children. Jacob looked up to see Pete standing there.
“Pete, you remember my father.”
“Yes, hi”
“Hi” then Jacob went back to playing with the children.
“Would you like some coffee?”
“Sure, thanks” they walk over to where the small kitchenette was and Mark was made the coffee.
“Mark, is your father always like this with every guy that goes out with Sam?”
“Yes; he is very protective of her even if she is a grown up woman and can take care of herself.”
“Oh, so when are you guys heading back?”
“After lunch; where is Sam?”
“At work still.”
“Ok, here you go” He passed a mug of coffee to Pete.
“Thanks”
“Granddad, can we go to the park?”
“I don’t know sweetie, you will have to ask your dad” the little girl turned to look at her dad.
“Please Dad.”
“Why don’t we all go to the park?”
“Ya” both children said at the same time.
“Come on, let’s go”
“First clean up then we can go.”
Jacob helped the two young children clean up and once done they all left and got into the SUV that Jacob was using. The two children went with Jacob, while Mark and his wife went with Pete.
