She began to tell him everything that she knew about, of which everyone thought she was clueless. He didn't understand her the majority of of the time they conversed, of which she also knew. But she didn't care, she knew he was there for her to listen despite his mind capacity(or lack thereof).
"I think you are my best friend", He told her one afternoon on their daily Tuesday walk.
She knew that meant a lot considering he never let another woman into his life except his dear Lucy. Lucy Diamond. She smiled gently, grabbed his hand, and proceeded to take him to the park's lake.
"Look at yourself", she sighed deeply, "what do you see?"
"Sam, I see Sam! Your turn!", he shrieked as he giggled at the thought of his own reflection.
"Oh, well, I see a father, a hardworking man, a sweet face, and a big heart" she replied.
"You see all of that?" He questioned, not comprehending how she saw his heart, or his job in the water.
"Sure", she said, "It's simple you see, you look what the person is made up of, instead of what the person's looks are made up of. It's like finding a hidden meaning, like a game Sam, like a game you play"
"Like a word find for the International House of Pancakes?" he questioned, seeing if this type of game was one he would really like to play or not.
"Just like that, your favorite!"
"Just like John was born on the 9th, like his son was born on the 9th and his mother lived on number 9 NewCastle Liverpool. NewCastle-Liverpool, nine letters!! Just like Lucy says!, Just like Lucy's game!"
And at the moment, not only did was she reminded of their unconditionel love for music, but the fact of what she was searching for: undying love from a friend, a man, would never be found in Sam. for his love, and all love was in Lucy's heart.
