Everyone Has Secrets
Boone Carlisle couldn't remember a time when he didn't love Shannon Rutherford. For the life of him, he couldn't figure out when, or how, it had happened. Whenever he thought back to his childhood, she was always there. His beautiful sister. There had never been anyone else, just meaningless girlfriends who stood as replacements for who he could never have. Or at least that's what he thought – until Sydney. Even now he couldn't think of how it happened – it just did. And it scared him how right it felt to be with Shannon. Boone knew that it couldn't happen again. It wasn't moral. They were siblings, if even only stepsiblings, and there was no escaping that. Or at least that's what Boone thought until they reached the island. It was a blessing in disguise really. Nobody there knew them, and they could be anything they wanted without having to worry about the constant scorn of others. Nobody had to know who they really were. Everybody kept secrets, couldn't they do the same?
