A/N: Written after La Fleur. I kind of like Juliet/Sawyer pairing.
Acid
She saw how he looked at her, like she was the only person in the world, like they never happened, like the past three years didn't exist.
He said nothing had changed between them, but it had and she knew it. It was his far off look, his inability to look at her; she knew he was thinking of her.
And once again Juliet was second to Kate. It didn't come as a surprise. She knew that if and when she came back she would lose him. And up until yesterday she was happy with him. He made this godforsaken island bearable, she stayed for him.
She laid there at the edge of the bed, their bed, willing herself to just sleep but being with him now was like acid in her veins. It hurt to be with him. She had to get some air. Quietly she tip-toed out of the room; however she knew it was unnecessary, James was awake. She grabbed her shoes and left their home.
Standing outside, gazing at the stars made her feel better, like she didn't exist. It wasn't until strong arms wrapped around her did she realize she was freezing. She shivered into him.
"I love you, Juliet." And with that everything else just melted away and she knew that no matter what happened next, nothing could take their three years away.
