"I think that was the hardest case we've ever solved." Samantha "Sam" Kepler told her friend Joe Talbot, referring to the mystery they had just solved. They were at the Talbot's house, on the couch. Between them sat Wishbone. He barked indignantly at Sam's comment. "Of course, we couldn't of done it without your help, Wishbone!" Sam smiled and scratched him in just the right spot.
"Wow…..I can't believe we're heading off to college next year." Joe said. "This will sound cheesy, but it seems like just yesterday that I got Wishbone."
"Yeah…" Sam agreed. She smiled. "Remember the time Damont tried to make a fool of you on the basketball court, but we practiced and you blew him out of the water? The look on his face was priceless!"
Joe sighed, remembering all of the years of friendship he and Sam had shared. The time she had helped him beat Damont, the time she had had an allergic reaction to some candy Joe had given her by mistake, the time they had accidentally broken the side mirror off of David's dad's car, and the time Wishbone had caught the unicorn statuette that Sam's mother had given to her before she died. Sam and Joe had shared some good times, some scary times, and some bad times.
Joe realized at that moment that he had never had a girlfriend throughout the years because of Sam. He really loved her. Did she feel the same way?
He leaned closer to her. "Sam…" he said, "I…" he lost all words as she looked straight into his eyes. "Yes?" she asked. He leaned over and kissed her gently on the cheek.
"I love you."
Sam looked delighted, surprised, and happy. "I love you too, Joe."
Wishbone barked happily as Joe and Sam kissed on the lips. Finally, Joe and Sam were together! Suddenly, Mrs. Talbot and David walked into the living room. Joe and Sam jumped apart. Wishbone barked as if to say, "It's okay, Ellen, I've got the situation under control!" And everyone laughed.
