User blog comment:Phenglei Kai/"Courageous" - The Sam/Freddie Relationship/@comment-1976613-20110501185925

Wow what a great blog and I think courage is absolutely the best word to use to describe it, I realized something about the birthday card that Sam gives Freddie, it's another part of the "game" she's obviously afraid to show any sort of vulnerability, so she doesn't even use the word "love" in the most everyday sense since she doesn't want Freddie to even begin to think that she and him are great friends, and it worked until that speech Freddie gave, that speech finally gave her the courage she needed.
