"Jack. I'm so, so sorry. I've wrecked everything." with that, the tears Kate had been holding in all day flowed out of her.Jack wrapped his arms around Kate and let her cry in his shoulder.

"I didn't want to run away Jack, I didn't." sobbed Kate, lifting her head from his shoulder. Jack silenced her, grabbing both her hands in his.

"I know. Its ok now. I promise everything will be ok." he said softly.

"Jack- you are the most amazing guy I have I ever met." whispered Kate, nearly melting when he smiled at her.

"Your pretty special yourself." Jack added. "I have something for you."

Kate looked at Jack curiously. Jack reached into his shirt pocket and took out a large mango.

Kate gasped. "I have been looking for more mango trees, most of them around here have been picked clean! Where did you get it?"

"Well, now that's my secret." Jack grinned, handing her the mango. Sun had told him that Kate had been looking for mangoes.

"Do you think you could meet me tomorrow afternoon? I have something I want to show you." asked Jack.

Kate was a bit taken back by this, but answered, "Uh sure. At the hatch?"

"Yeah, and wear hiking boots." Jack replied. Kate raised her eyebrows at Jack, who just chuckled.

"I better get back to Claire- the poor thing will be wondering what took me so long," said Kate.

Jack smiled. "Yeah ok." He started to turn around, and had only walked a few steps when Kate had a sudden impulse.

"Jack – wait." She ran up and threw her arms around him. "Thankyou for everything." she whispered.

"Always a pleasure." Both Jack and Kate grinned at the deja-vu of the moment, before Kate turned and jogged over to where Claire was still sitting.

Jack started to walk back to the hatch. On his way, he passed Hurley and Charlie.

"It was like watching one of those soppy chick-flicks." Charlie said, but stopped when he saw Jack. Jack just grinned at him, and found he couldn't wipe the grin off his face the whole walk back.

"Hurry up Sawyer! As hard as it may be for you to believe –I actually have other things I could be doing right now!" called Kate.

"I'm comin' I'm comin'." said Sawyer. "I don't know why I have to get my bandages changed this goddamn early anyhow!"

Kate just rolled her eyes and led the way into the jungle. They didn't talk much, and in no time they reached the hatch door.

"After you, Freckles." Sawyer drawled.

"Jack! Sawyer's here to get his bandages changed!" Kate called. Jack emerged from the bathroom,and smiled at Kate. Kate smiled back and felt butterflies erupt into her stomach.

Jack was in a particularly good mood, barely even getting annoyed at Sawyer's sarcastic one-liners.

"Ok, I'm done- oh and by the way, you need a haircut." grinned Jack.

"Well that's funny, Freckles here told me the same thing a coupl'o days ago. You offering, doc?" Sawyer asked, in his usual sarcastic tone.

"I'll do it for you tomorrow, if your that worried," Kate offered.

"Why not this afternoon, sweetcheeks?" Sawyer asked.

"I'm busy this afternoon." Kate said, giving Jack an excited smile. Jack winked at her, as Sawyer got up and walked to the hatch door. Kate slowly followed, and as she heard the door yank open, Jack pulled her aside.

"I'll see you here a little later?" he said.

Kate grinned, "It's a date." With that, she followed Sawyer through the hatch door and into the jungle.
