Summary (Prompt): Five times Sawyer was sweet to Claire and her son, Aaron.

Just Moments

When she wasn't looking, Sawyer knelt by Aaron's crib; offering a rare smile as he placed a small teddy bear beside him; one item he was willing to part with.

---

Once when he heard her crying softly, he walked into her tent silently and sat beside her. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her close – letting her release all that she carried with her.

---

After stealing a jar of peanut butter, he left it in Claire's tent with a note attached – that read: "from a friend".

---

One night the sound of him crying woke Sawyer and carefully, he made his way into her tent – not making a sound as she slept; he sat beside the young boy and began reading to him from Judy Bloom; and little did he know she was awake as she listened to him – comforted by his presence.

---

He noticed the look of horror on her face as she clung to her son; he walked over to her and embraced her, kissing her forehead and telling her it would be all right.
