" I hung up and smiled. I didn't want Sam to have to sleep in the park. She's a sweet, innocent girl and I'd do anything in the world to protect her.S...am was all smiles when she climbed into my car. "So, what happened to you? Why did you leave work early?" she asked.I told her the story of my reception at work. At first, she looked upset, then she thought about it for a minute and said, "That's really what you wanted, Isn't it?" Absolutely," I said with a big grin. "The VP felt so bad about Dale.
