The Test
(continued)
A few more weeks passed by and during that time Sam never saw a trace of Edelaine. He kicked himself for not getting her number earlier. There were many things he did to keep his mind occupied, like singing his heart out while playing piano...

...learning how to do glass blowing at the Prism Art Studio that just opened up in town (he hoped he might catch Edelaine there since the place was all over the news at the moment).

...and meeting a few more folks in town, including the mysterious man in the black cap.

Sam had never done a "Shaka Bra" greeting with anyone and he felt a little silly attempting it. The man in the black cap, named Craven Lestat, didn't seem to care. Sam found him to be a pretty cool guy. Not the typical person he would hang out with, but cool nonetheless. He was pretty impressed with Craven catching the rubber ducky when he performed a "stimulus response test" for fun on him.

"Wow! You have quick reflexes," Sam admired.
"I am a man full of mysteries," Craven responded.
Sam: :grey_question:
Of course going to work always helped pass the time, but it didn't help him in catching Edelaine out in public.

Liam O'Dourke: Hey Sam! I guess you caught me running a little late this morning.
Sam: (Grinning) You don't have to explain anything to me Sir.
And every time when the work day was over...

Liam: Bye Sam! See you tomorrow.
Sam couldn't believe how depressed he felt. He simply stood there, staring out at nothing. Liam noticed and stopped to face him. "You alright buddy?" he asked.
Normally this kind of heartache he would sometimes discuss with Al. Perhaps the gloomy feeling he was experiencing over not finding Edelaine would go away if he just opened up about it to another guy. Liam was his boss, but he was also his friend. Maybe he was just the right person to talk to about it.
Sighing, Sam responded, "Yeah...I'll be alright."
Liam didn't look convinced. "Looks like you need to work something out," Liam began, "how about you join me at the gym? I always go after work."
Truthfully, that sounded wonderful. "Yeah," Sam answered. That would be the perfect place to talk.

"So yeah," Sam concluded, "I haven't been able to find her since that night at Lars'."
"Wow," was all Liam managed to say.
"I mean, have I lost my mind here or what?"
Liam chuckled, "Well...the right girl will do that to ya."
"The truth is, I'm not even sure she's the right one for me. I'd like to find out by getting to know her better, but I can't ever find her!"
https://s20.postimg.cc/dh7j93i31/SB_Post_5_3.jpg
"Yeah, those paparazzi folks are hard to catch...unless you're a celebrity," Liam said.
If only I were the Sam Beckett she knew in my world, Sam thought. He shook his head at the thought and got off the treadmill. "I dunno Liam," he said, wiping the sweat from his face with a towel, "Perhaps this is all just a lost cause. She is obviously too busy for anyone."
"Maybe," Liam said, "but you gotta at least try or you'll spend the rest of you life thinking, 'What if,' and trust me...that's a s u c k y feeling!"
Sam patted Liam on the shoulder and said, "I DO know the feeling."
"Then you know that you can't give up on finding her and expressing your feelings."
"I know," Sam admitted, "I mean...I could head on over to the next town where she lives and find her house, but," he paused, rubbing his temple, "I don't want to appear desperate. Ugh! I'm just not good at this!" He really wasn't.
Liam smiled brightly. "Man, you've really got it bad for this girl don't ya?"

A few more days passed and Sam decided that if he and Edelaine were really meant to be together, they'd find each other. In the meantime he had to keep on living his life and not dwell on it.
One night he visited the Unicorn again. The two were really starting to bond. So much so that the Unicorn gave Sam a Blessing.

Sam was flattered. "Thank you girl," he said, rubbing her muzzle. "I need it."
https://s20.postimg.cc/wvcymiyx9/SB_Post_5_20.jpg
After promising to visit her again, like he usually did, Sam headed for home...with the blessing sparkles following behind him.

The next day was his day off and Sam decided to go out to the Town Square and play his guitar. It had been a while since he played, but the talent was coming back to him. There were several onlookers, some even tossed money into his guitar case.
As he was jamming, a figure quietly approached him from behind.
