White

Sam's gaze fell to the single white rose lying on the worktop and she couldn't help but smile. When it came to 'them', the General hadn't always said a lot, instead preferring his actions to convey the words he couldn't.

But last night, for the first time in eight years, they had talked. Like, really talked and addressed the colossal-sized elephant they'd chosen to leave in that room all those years ago.

For now, the regulations were still in their way, but they had made a decision and vowed to find a way to be together. It was time.

Author's Note: Thank you to everyone who has left reviews for this little series; both to those who I could reply to and thank, and also for the guest reviews that whilst I wasn't able to thank you personally, please know that they made me smile and I am so thankful to you all for taking the time out to read my various fic ideas and enjoy reading them. For now, I am putting these 'moments in time' on hiatus as I have a few other Stargate (i.e. Sam and Jack-centric) ideas I'd like to explore - which I can't do sufficiently in 100 words!
