Chapter 40
(At the bonfire)
"So. You must be the Yankee that stole Bo's heart." Sami says as she walks over to Adam and eyes him up and down.
"That would be me." Adam chuckles and nods. "I'm Adam."
"Well, I must say, Bo sure knows how to pick em." Sami laughs, making Adam blush.
"I'm curious as to why you call him Bo." Adam says as he slightly tilts his head.
"When I was a little girl, I used to be madly in love with him." Sami giggles. "I used to call him my beau, which means boyfriend. I had plans on marrying him one day but that was before he came out as gay which totally broke my heart."
"I think I fell in love with him the minute I laid eyes on him." Adam smiles as he sees Tim walking in their direction.
"He's definitely pleasing to the eyes." Sami laughs.
"Y'all talking about me?" Tim asks. He wasn't sure what had been said, he only knew they were both watching him as he walks up.
"No. Actually, I was talking about that friend of yours." Sami smiles.
"Which friend? You know I have so many." Tim says with sarcasm in his voice.
"The cute bearded guy wearing the cap that's talking to my brother." Sami says as she nods her head that way.
"Oh, that would be Adam Chance Ray. The doctor that saved my life after our car wreck. We all call him Chance." Tim answers and then chuckles.
"What's so funny?" Sami asks. "Is he gay?"
"Well, I believe he's Bi. But I wasn't laughing at that. We all had him believing that you looked like a female version of Rob." Tim laughs.
"You dip sh*t." Sami laughs as she slaps Tim on the arm. "How am I ever going to get a boyfriend if you and Marco keep running them off."
"Speaking of the gentle giant, have you seen him since you've been home?" Tim asks.
"No. You guys were the first I ran into." Sami answers.
"Well, you do know we all buried the hatchet with Bayou Bob, right?" Tim asks.
"What!!?? No! I didn't know that. Bo, are you sure you can trust him? He's been a thorn in your side ever since I can remember." Sami says.
"Yeah, I'm sure. There was something that happened a while back and he really stepped up and showed everyone that he's really changed. He and Mark hang around a lot together." Tim says as he opens another beer.
"Wow. That's hard to believe." Sami says as she shakes her head in disbelief.
"Hey, Doc." Tim calls out as he sees Chance heading to the cooler to get him another beer. Tim motions for him to come there.
"Don't you embarrass me." Sami warns in a low voice.
Chance walks over and gives Sami a somewhat nervous smile.
"Chance, this is Sam, Rob's sister. Sam, this is Chance, Rob's partner at the clinic." Tim smirks as he reaches for his husband's hand. "Talk to y'all later."
The newly introduced couple stands with their mouths agape as they watch the Fousts walk away laughing.
"Well...." Chance clears his throat and chuckles nervously as he rubs the back of his neck. "This is a little awkward."
"So... Uh, Bo told me that you were the one who saved his life after their wreck." Sami says as she tries to start a conversation after being left holding the bag.
"I just did what I needed to do. He was in pretty bad shape when they brought him in." Chance says. "I just wish I could have saved the sight in his left eye."
"You saved his life, Chance. We're all grateful for that." Sami says. "If you hadn't have told me, I wouldn't have even known he was blind in one eye."
"You ever hear of the old saying, 'blind in one eye and can't see out of the other'? Well, that's Tim. Without his glasses, he doesn't see well at all." Chance says. "Uh, would you like a beer?"
"I'd love one." Sami says with a soft smile.
Chance politely lays a hand on her back as they walk over to the cooler.

"What are you up to, Bubba?" Jenika giggles as she and Chris lounged in a lawn chair by the bonfire.
"Nothing." Tim answers innocently as he sits down in the lounge chair beside them. Adam sits down between his legs and leans back against his husband.
"Whatever." Jenika laughs. "How do you think Mark is gonna react when he sees Sami and Chance together?"
"It will be interesting." Tim says with a wicked smile as he lights a cigarette.
"Why? Does Mark have a thing for Sami or something?" Adam asks as he looks over his shoulder at his husband.
"Oh, no. Nothing like that." Tim says shaking his head. "They're really close friends and since she's so small, he thinks she needs protecting."
"He won't hurt Chance will he?" Chris asks with concern.
"Naw." Tim says, again shaking his head. "He'll probably have a little fun with the good doctor."
"How bout some music, Y'all?" Austin asks as he brings a cd player out of the house with extension cords leading back into the house.
Rob laughs at the extension cords.
"What? We don't have any batteries." Austin laughs.
As the music begins to play, Austin and Olena begin to dance. Jenika giggles as she pulls Chris from his comfortable seat to go dance. Rob and Kelsey also join in the dancing.
"Would you like to dance, Mr. Foust?" Tim whispers in a low tone near Adam's ear, sending chills down his spine.
"I would love to dance with you, Mr. Foust." Adam smiles before standing up to allow Tim to get up.
"Come on, you two." Tim says to Chance and Sami as he and Adam begin to dance. "No wallflowers allowed." He adds with a smirk.
Chance lets go of a nervous breath. 'Someday, Tim Foust, I will pay you back for this.' He thought.
"Well, you heard the man." Sami giggles as she grabs Chance by the hand and pulls him over to where everyone was dancing.
"I'm a ... I'm not that much of a dancer." Chance chuckles. "Especially to fast songs. I don't have the moves that Tim and Adam has."
"You're doing fine." Sami smiles.
After a few songs, a slow song begins to play. Everyone pulls their significant other close and begins to slow dance.
"Well, you said you weren't much of a dancer on fast songs. How are you on slow songs?" Sami smiles as she slips her arms around the doctor's neck.
"You tell me." Chance says softly as he wraps his arms around her small waist pulling her closer.
The song was almost over, Tim was kissing and nibbling at Adam's neck. He slowly opens his eyes and raises his head as someone dances by.
"What the hell!" Tim laughs loudly.
His laughter drawing everyone's attention.
Everyone begins to laugh at Bayou Bob doing a very poor rendition of the Tango with a mop.
Sami had not had the chance to get to know the 'changed' Bayou Bob Jennings yet. But seeing the 6'7" giant dancing around like an idiot with a mop was hilarious.
She glances around as she is laughing, noticing for the first time the dark figure standing with his arms to his side a few feet away from the bonfire. She could feel his cold eyes staring at her from under his wide-brimmed hat.
"Oh, my God!! MARCO!!" She squeals as she runs and jumps into his arms.
He picks the small girl off the ground as he hugs her. He lifts his head and glares at the good doctor.
