For forever and a day

sam So please please please, let me get what I want this time Any sweet words from Remi, or indeed Remi himself, faded from Sam's mind as he stared directly into the face of his nightmare. His father had become an almost ghoulish figure in his life now that he was no longer a daily reality, his abuse becoming a legend Sam used to scare himself in the dark of night. The yelling reduced him to a shaking wreck almost instantly, (which would not at all help in the face of his father's rage) Sam unable to even put the arm across Remi that he wanted to, unable to say anything like what he wanted to. His mind was entirely blank of things to say back. "I...I..." He said, shaking his head and hoping it would just be over soon. Suddenly he was a child again, stood in the corner watching Evie heaped with praise while he stammered and struggled his way through one reading to the mirth of his family.
