(I am thinking the event would be 2 parts, first part is starting at 9, involving signing on the books and shaking hands with readers. then at 11, they would gather together so sam could answer questions from the crowd - and then show off how sam and henry are a loving couple ;))

Henry was driving fast towards the venue. The meeting he had gone on was much longer than he expected, but in the end he got what he wanted and successfully solicited sevreal generous donations for his clinics. He glanced at his clock and impatiently waited for the redlight to turn.

Back inside, the publisher's staff was doing the wrap up with everybody looking at her, and no one particularly noticed how sick Sam appeared to be. The door to the room was suddenly opened and Henry appeared, with a big bunch of roses in his arms. THe noise he made caused everybody to turn and look at him. He smiled brightly and said "Sorry, I ddin't expect to be this late, but I guess i shouldn't miss this." He said walking through the people towards his wife, smiling at him. "Hey babe..."

The crowd was quite shocked at first, but then someone started cheering and everybody clapped thier hands welcoming Henry.
