Lauren Chavez-Myers: Sam

Quotes 

• Sam : You know, you have this little human with you everywhere you go but... motherhood is lonely. I could've used you, Nic. But I know. I know it's been hard for you too. And I know why. It's Ben. You don't have to keep it in, ok? You're always holding your breath. It's real, Nic. It's so fucking real. I'm a mother. I'm not Sam anymore. A mom. I thought this would be a new chapter for me, you know? For Josh and me. But this... this is starting over like a baby.

  [in tears] 

  Sam : I'm the fucking baby! You know the worst part? I love him so much! Isn't that funny? That's the worst part. That's the worst part.

• Sam : You've got a lot in front of you. Especially with Ben gone.

  [Nic's face drops at the mention of Ben and she puts her wine glass down with an audible thud] 

  Sam : I don't know why I said that.

  Nic : It's okay.

  Sam : I liked Ben. Sorry. Tonight is for us. No boys, no babies, no bullshit.
