Nowhere in the files did it say Sam Winchester had a girlfriend. Lindsey tried not to look surprised by the news, and hoped he didn't look relieved either when Sam said it didn't work out. Not that it put his own position in a good one but it did allow him to pursue his task easier.

"I'll be glad to show you to some of them," Lindsey said with a friendly smile, his choice of word purposeful in this case. Not recommend, not tell, but personally show.

"Maybe we can eat out together for lunch sometime next week," he continued easily, ignoring anything that wasn't a positive reaction from Sam. "I eat by myself most of the time at lunch anyway." He didn't used to, but ever since getting the assignment, he had to, just to give Sam a chance to approach him.
