The flashback scenes in ’Til Death Do Us Part chronicle the time from when Henry and Sam first began their courtship through to the night before Henry leaves on his ill-fated flight.

This series of blog posts was motivated by a comment from one of the book’s reviewers, Bethany at Rainbow Gold Reviews, who made the comment that she wished the flashback scenes had been from Sam’s POV instead of from Henry’s.
This week’s scene is from the 15th flashback in the book, found at the beginning of Chapter 17 (Note: Chapters 1 and 15 did not have flashback scenes).
This one’s short and minimalist. I didn’t go adding bonus thoughts for Sam except to replace corresponding thoughts Henry had in the original.
Sam bounced in place and smiled reflexively as Henry hurried toward baggage claim. It had been seven longs weeks since they’d seen each other—in person, anyway, not counting Skype. When he arrived at the empty luggage carousel, Henry tapped his foot and stared at the backs of the people in front of him.
Clearly, he hadn’t noticed Sam waiting. Sam snuck up behind him and took a deep breath of Henry’s scent before murmuring, “How was Greenland?”
Henry jumped, but his smile was wide when he spun and threw his arms around Sam’s waist.
“Damn, I missed you!” he said. “And the answer to your question is ‘cold.’ So how was India?”
“Hot.”
Henry tightened his arms, giving Sam a big squeeze. “Much as I appreciated being able to see and talk to you every day, thanks to modern technology, nothing quite beats getting a big hug from you in person.”
“Nothing? At all?”
Henry smirked. “Well, I’ll think about it on the drive home and let you know if I come up with any ideas.”

I think I liked the original better. This one was very minimalist 😀
Interesting. Are you keeping score to see which ones are in the lead? 🙂
Eh, the original was just as minimalist. I just didn’t expand on it like I sometimes do with these.
No, I started out keeping score, but I haven’t done since the early days. Maybe I could post a poll at the end of it all? I think there are about five more to go.
You’re right, it was minimalist. I had to go back and read it. No big difference, really 🙂
I vote yes to a poll! I love polls! 🙂
