[ she's not sure what she's expecting. tara had been so angry and upset and sam knows that the distance she's been keeping is a big part of what's behind it, especially now. but she hasn't been able to face her. she's barely been able to face anyone since that day.
but tara flings herself towards her, arms encircling her like a koala, and sam's arms go reflexively around her, reminded of when they were both little and unaware of the extent of their mother's harmfulness and her father's legacy, when tara looked at her like she was the whole world. and sam just - falls apart. she exhales, sobbing, curved over tara's shoulder as she lets herself feel everything she's been trying not to for weeks.
