Oh that's just gorgeous. Achy and full of longing and so *them*.
And this?
He hadn't thought Sam really meant to stay away more than a few months. "He's just proving a point," he'd said, once, just once, because his father hurled a jar of peanut butter across the room and then left the motel for two days.
I can just SEE this so clearly, because this is exactly what it would have been like after he left.
What all of them said. College-Sam...makes me hurt so deep inside that it's really hard to say all that much. It's one thing to know that separation isn't permanent, but THEY don't know that yet, not in any even remotely direct way, and I guess that is what kills me. That they really do love each other so, so very much, and yet this -- this enforced separation on BOTH their parts, both of them intransigent and yet yearning so very deeply to let it all go.
Aww. :) Your description of why college-era Sam is so hurty-good resonates with me, especially because at that time, Sam was trying so hard to get *away*, and he just had no idea what the cost of that was going to be.

Fantastic, as always.
