CHAPTER 3

Kate closes her eyes as the warm water hits her body. God it felt good to finally get a shower. Her mind went over the nights recent events leading up to this moment, one thing in particular she just couldn't stop thinking about. Jack said that he wasn't sorry about their kiss. She tried to remember his face at that moment. He was so sincere. She was relieved, that their first kiss wouldn't go down in the books as another one of her mistakes. She thought that things would never be the same between them again after that. That she had screwed up their friendship, the one good thing she had going for her on this damn island. But that was all gone, the minute he said that, it brought back hope, that all was not lost between them. Kate turned off the water and stepped out of the shower, wrapping the towel around her. She glanced back at the door, remembering when Jack had came in the last time she took a shower. The thought made her smile. She hurriedly got dressed. She thought maybe she could catch him before he left to go back to the beach.

Kate looked around the living area. Ana and Locke were the only two people who remained. "Hey John, you seen Jack?" she asked as she passed by Locke.

"Uh yeah, he just left for the beach a few minutes ago." Locke said while writing on a small piece of paper.

"Thanks" Kate quickly responded.

"You're welcome..." Locke says looking up, but she was already gone.
