Sam joyously embraced his family as they ran up to meet him. He gave his father a firm hug and a slap on the back. “You don't look a day older Dad, one day you gotta let me in on that secret.” He said with a grin “How great is it to see me again, right? How the hell did you mange without me.” Truth be told he had never seen his father happier, he seemed laid back, relaxed, he had a big smile on his face and wasn’t afraid to share his affection. Something had really gotten his mood up, he had even seemed happier over the phone lately. Sam took the beer Mark offered him and chugged it down in seconds, and tossed the empty bottle back to him “I’m gonna need at least eight more of those, your boy just got back from college remember?” He said with a wink.<br/><br/>He accepted Steven’s wise ass remark with a non chalent shrug, “Yeah surprisingly I managed to survive  without you brooding and constant complaining. I don’t know how I possibly managed without you.” Sam’s body got tingly when Steven brushed his fingers right across his most ticklish spot. No fair using that against him in front of all these people. He would have to get his revenge on him later, he knew a lot of spots on Steven’s body that were ticklish.<br/><br/>And he saw the girl, the one his father had told him about. Steven had definitely not been honest about his perceptions of her. As she walked towards him he could tell already this was easily one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen in this town.  The red hair was unheard of in his pack, it made her seem so exotic and alluring it almost made him growl. He had been a little hesitant about his Dad’s choice,  but he should have trusted his father’s judgement, he certainly knew how to choose them well. When she looked into his blue eyes with her odd, green ones, he thought he detected a hint of interest, or at least fascination. She spoke with a soft and gentle voice, but firm she was certainly no pushover. He watched her deal with Steven’s suspicion handily, not even backing down against his most intimidating glare. So nice but with an edge, he liked that. Sam frowned momentarily, Steven definitely seemed to like her too, maybe he didn’t know it yet himself, but this is always the way he acts when he’s uncomfortable about his desires. He was obviously overcompensating his moodiness because he was afraid of showing his real emotions. Well, it was of no matter at the moment, He didn't even know her much yet, and they would see who she gravitated towards with time he knew that Steven’s off putting manner wasn’t going to attract a woman like his easy going charm would.<br/><br/>“Well, well, well, you must be Hannah,” he said taking a step towards her and took her hand by the fingertips. With some exaggerated formality he brought it up to his mouth and gave it a gentle kiss “Enchante mademoiselle” He said, in the most ridiculous French accent he could muster. He held her hand for a little longer then necessary, letting his fingers linger across her skin for a few moments before letting go. “Don’t mind Steven, he’s just a grumpy bastard. If Dad thinks your OK, then I’m sure you must be. Well to tell you the truth, I think you’re rather more than OK so far” He gave her a quick wink and then stepped back, knowing that soon she might get embarrassed by everyone watching his shameless flirting. He had sent some feelers out and it was time to see if she would bite. "How are you enjoying our little pack so far? I hope it's not getting to boring for you."<br/>
