Chapter Two – Kind of OK

In one way he first thought she was OK was when he thought she was screwing the Doc, which kept Kate from doing the same.

It wasn't until she lied so they could go down to the beach together and try and help the people who had staged a trap for the others, one which she had been a key part of planning, he actually thought she was OK as a person.

The plan was devious, he was amazed that she had helped devise it.

He was also impressed and concerned about her ability to lie, and shake off the Doc so quickly so they could get back to the beach.

The journey back wasn't as awkward as he had thought. She was witty, and had an answer for all his jibes.

Surprisingly she wasn't screwing the Doc, he didn't see that one coming.

Then they saved the day, with the help of the Michelin Man, and he started to think she was maybe kinda OK. . . .

She thought he was a stupid red-necked Hick, uneducated, quick tempered and rude.

After staying on the beach for a while she noticed he liked to read a lot, and she realised that maybe at least part of his persona was an act.

The biggest surprise was that he seemed to actually care about his fellow survivors, other than Kate, enough to put himself in danger.

His humour, which some would see as offensive, started to seem slightly amusing and witty rather than some form of bullying.

She started to think that maybe, this loyal man, although hot tempered and offensive was maybe kind of OK. . . .
