Chapter 2. At the island.
- Marry me Kate, Jack said.
- Ehm…oh my God, Kate answered and giggled (!). I feel a little bit hot…
Behind the tree, at the other side of the grove, Sawyer stood and hyperventilated.
"Take it easy. What does he have that you don't? He only has his body, a successful career, money, nice car, a house, a family, a clean record…Ehm, I'm way prettier. No way she'll say yes"
In the meantime, Kate had fainted into Jack's arms. Jack caressed her hair gently and precisely in that moment, Sawyer glanced at them from behind the tree. What he saw made his heart brake and he started to cry, for the first time in thirty years. He didn't know where to go, so he just ran away.
Kate awoke.
- Kate, how you're feeling?
- Oh, Jack. I can't marry you, not if I don't know if my feelings towards Sawyer are real…
- When will you realise, I'm the man for you. Sawyer can never make you happy, after all, I have a nice body, a successful career, money, a nice car, a house, a family, a clean record… Though Sawyer is WAY prettier, no way you'll say no!
- You're right about that, I have to find Sawyer.
- You do that, I'll just stay here till you changed your mind.
His last line was said without audience, Kate was long gone. Jack waited in vain.
