*crying heap of mess on the floor*

Oh my.. that's heart-breaking stuff. I kept expecting Sam to DO something or Gene to do something, but no, Gene just leaves him! *weeps*

And Annie! This is why I think Sam is selfish sometimes.. he takes her for granted. That scene where he tries to 'get her back' is so real it hurts! Totally Sam.

No Gene. No Annie. No TCG. Slowly going bonkers. Brrrr.
You're just amazing :)

No Gene... No Annie... Sam waited far too long to make up his mind, and then suddenly didn't have either of the choices that he was deliberating over available to him...

This was just so heartwrenchingly good, it just made me ache. You've done Annie incredibly well in this fic, something that I always find difficult to do, and the way that Sam felt the weight of "forever" in this was just horrifyingly real...

Amazingly done!

This makes a lot of sense to me.

[hmpf]

It's pretty much why I can't see a happily ever after for Sam. (Well, this, and the fact that he's dead. :D) Outside of a work context, he just sucks at relationships... He's too self-absorbed and oblivious. You capture that, and his conscious reluctance to connect, too, very well here.
