Sam should've expected the glee club would pull through; and it had with style. The turkey and the tree had certainly livened up the soup kitchen-as had the song everyone had sung, although he wasn't quite sure if singing about poor people in Africa was the appropriate considering their particular audience. But, it was one of his mother's favorite Christmas songs, and the folks seemed to enjoy it, so he supposed it didn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
Per usual, Mercedes looked and sounded amazing; Sam couldn't help his smile while watching her and valiantly ignored the knowing looks Quinn and Rory shot him. He really hated he was so transparent, but what could he do? It'd been six, long, agonizing months without her in his sights, without her being in touching distance, and he was going to enjoy every second of it…even if he weren't supposed to be doing so. Mercedes had been good, too; although her performance in glee club the other day had had him chasing her around the choir room like an eager puppy. It had paid off, though, and he still felt that garland being looped around his neck like a very willing noose and her hand slightly trembling in his as he'd helped her down from the ladder after she'd played Christmas Cupid to Finn and Rachel. He'd squeezed her hand and she'd flashed him a small smile before easing her hand away. He'd even heard her breath whoosh out once the contact had ended, as if she'd been holding her breath to let nothing distract her from the feel of their hands pressed together.
Or maybe that had just been him…
