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.

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