The back of the Caves
Chapter one: The way you look to me.
Sayid glanced up at the cloudy evening sky. He could see lightning in the distance, and hear thunder from afar. He saw Shannon standing outside of her tent in a sweatshirt, and tight jeans. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail, and she appeared to have no makeup on. These were the times when Sayid was completely aware of his feelings toward her.
Shannon was trying to put all of her belongings in her luggage to assure that they would remain dry when the rain moved in, she had just stepped out of her tent for a break when she saw Sayid approaching. He had his tight white wife beater, and baggy dark blue cargo pants on. His hair was pulled back into a ponytail, with a few residual strands that curled behind his ears. The glow from the sun was behind him, and Shannon could not help but smile.
"What puts you in such a good mood on this rainy day?" Sayid asked Shannon who was beaming.
"You do!" She simply replied.
"Well, I am pleased that I can contribute to your happiness."
"It looks like it's going to rain"
Sayid looked up. "Yes, I suppose it does, would you like to accompany me to the caves?"
"I would love to, let me just finish putting my clothes into my suit case."
Sayid helped Shannon put her stuff in her luggage, and together, they set off towards the caves.
