The sun had just set. It was almost dark, and the moon shone brightly against the stark grey sky. She was standing on the beach, her feet buried in the sand, watching the waves come in. It was so peaceful…tranquil. She didn't know he was there until she felt him kissing her softly on the back of her neck.
"Jack" She was smiling.
"Mmm?" He didn't stop, instead he wrapped his arms around her so that they were crossed over hers on her stomach.
She tilted her head back, slightly to the side, waiting for him to kiss her. He took his time, trailing his kisses up her neck, across her chin until he finally reached her lips.
"Dance with me" he murmured.
She smiled against his lips.
"Okay" she whispered back.
He turned her around slowly, so that she was facing him, but left his hands around her waist. She in turn put her hands on his shoulders, then stepped forward so that their bodies were pressed together. They started to move, dancing slowly on the sand. She lowered her head onto his shoulder and closed her eyes.
Everything was so perfect. She was here, with Jack, on this secluded beach with no one to bother them. But she was quite content just to dance with him. After yesterday, she was still satisfied. All she wanted right now was to be with Jack, away from the camp, away from his duties as a doctor and away from all the distractions, chiefly Sawyer.
They slowed, until eventually they weren't dancing but just standing, wrapped up each in other, soaking in the other's presence. She didn't want to move. She didn't want to leave that moment. It was so perfect, so beautiful.
She didn't want to go back to camp. She wanted to stay here with Jack, all night. And dance again, in the moonlight. Just dance.
