Sam just stared at him, was he really that dense? Sure he might not have been in the same intellectual crowd as Daniel and herself, but he was far from an idiot. He tended to down play his intelligence to let him act more freely, but she knew how smart he was.
"Permission to speak freely, Sir?" She waited for his nod, exasperated as it was for her even asking, before she continued. "I've been in love with you for years. I had some sort of crush just by reading your mission briefings before I even met you. I thought I'd blown everything when we were introduced at the initial SGC meeting. But you gave me a chance to prove myself, and I've been trying to do that every day since."
Sam licked her lips and pulled on that reserve of strength to carry her forward on this. "I've worked side by side with you for years, and in that time never once have I wanted it any other way." Now she stepped closer, chin held high and meeting his eyes levelly. "What do I want, Sir? A chance, that's all. One fair shot to see if all these years have been because there is something real between us or if you've been that unattainable man the hallucination of you said you were."
