Dr Leslie Arzt woke up early and since it was a nice enough day, decided to go for a walk. The beach was almost deserted, as nearly everyone was still in bed. He walked past the various tents and pieces of fuselage down to a more secluded part of the beach. He saw a figure sitting on the beach near the edge of the jungle. A woman, with long, dark, wavy hair, pulled back into a messy ponytail. Thinking it was Kate, and thinking she liked him, Arzt made his way down the beach towards her.

Ana-Lucia Cortez was thinking. In her opinion, early morning was the best time to do this. She liked to wake early, always had. Right now she was thinking of so many things, she thought her head would explode from it. She was thinking about Shannon, and how much guilt the accident had placed on herself. She was thinking about the days before meeting up with the fuselage survivors: whether or not she should still be worrying about the Others.
But on top of all this she was thinking about love. Men, love, relationships, everything. There were plenty of men here, and for a while she thought she had had feelings for a couple of them, namely Jack and Sawyer. But even with these men right in front of her, when she saw the strange man the previous day a feeling she hadn't felt for a long time was awoken inside her.
Ana was jolted out of thought by a loud, obnoxious voice caling to her across the beach.
"That's a nice shirt, Kate"
Ana looked up, confused and slightly angered by this intrusion of her privacy.
"Excuse me?" she said.
The man who had talked to her walked closer, stopping just in front of her feet.
"Oh... you're not Kate... I don't recognize you. Have we met?"
Ana shook her head slowly, dreamily gazing up at the man who had spoken, the same man who she had seen yesterday, and the same man who had stolen her heart with one glance.
