Bet you're dying to see what happens next, right? Well, me too.
So let's keep going!
Yes, I am a little crazy. But aren't we all?
Sawyer lie awake in the middle of the night, thinking about the
night. I can't love her... I just met her... I can't love her...
Sawyer knew it. He was in love. Leigh was everything he'd
ever wanted. He wanted her. He wanted her badly.
They'd walked and talked for three hours. Leigh was the best
friend Sawyer had never had. He loved her.
Sawyer had never loved anyone before.
Kate? Kate was just a flirty friend. A friend who happened to
hate Sawyer's guts. Sawyer didn't love Kate.
Sawyer loved Leigh.
While they walked, they talked about everything. Leigh had
been living among the wreckage on the beach. She was alone.
"What were you doing in Sydney?" asked Sawyer.
Leigh paused for a few moments. "Saying good-bye to my mother. She
died a month or two ago."
"Oh," said Sawyer softly. "I'm sorry."
"Yeah. I'm really from Kentucky- I guess you can tell by my accent- but I
was living in LA for a few months, trying to get a job modeling. Worked two
jobs on the side, auditioned every weekend. Never really got one. Didn't
have the 'look'."
You've got the look, all right, Sawyer was thinking.
"Shame," said Sawyer. "I think you're pretty."
Leigh smiled at him. "Thank you. So what were you doing in Sydney?"
Sawyer paused. "Taking care of some unfinished business."
Leigh nodded. "Nice. Are you alone too?"
"Yes," said Sawyer.
They talked for hours. Sawyer would have stayed out all night,
but they didn't.
"Well, see you tomorrow, I suppose." said Leigh. She smiled.
"Bye," said Sawyer. He wandered back to camp.
Sawyer was in love and he knew it.
