Welcome to Gaia! ::

((The outfit I'm wearing is fine. Thanks! I can still PM you a shot of my avvie later on. biggrin ))

Sun looked up at Jack and tried to clear her expression. She gave him a watery smile. and rested her chin back on her knees.

"Nothing. It is just that... Have you ever had a day when you just wanted to cry? No, of course you have not, what was I thinking..." Sun trailed off.

That's all there was to it. Nothing more and nothing less.

Sun took in another shaky breath and continued to let the tears flow from her eyes. She didn't want to be weak in front of Jack, but her emotions had control of her body. All Sun could manage was a weak smile that just barely tweaked the corners of her lips.

"Thanks," she whispered, barely audiably.

Sun took the napkin from Jack and dabbed at her eyes with it. She took a few moments to collect herself as Jack spoke, his eyes constantly darting around the caves. Sun could tell he hated being out of control.

"That is very nice of you, Jack. It will take a lot of work. I am only warning you so that you know," Sun said giving a shaky laugh.

She stared at the grey sky outside and contined to allow a few stray tears to cascade down her jawline as the skies cried outside.

((in any case, I must run for now. I'll be back tomorrow so hopefully I'll see you then! Fare thee well! [can you tell I've gotten hooked on Shakespeare?! LOL] xd ))

After what seemed like an eternity they finally reached the caves. Sayid led them to a quiet, unoccupied corner and set down the tarp as a shield against the ground and then carefully arranged all of the salvaged cushions and the one blanket they had to share. "You should lie down...you don't look well." He said, taking her bag from her and setting it down next to the cave wall.

She blinked up at him but was too tired to protest-both physically and emotionally.

Jen walks quickly into the caves. She galances down at her book and notices that it's pages are starting to wrinkle from the ran. She goes over to her suit case to get a blanket. Then she walks over and sits by Clair.

Jen turns to Clair, "How bad do you think this storm is going to be?"

Sun put her hands lightly to rest on Jack's shoulders.

"Me too," Sun replied.

She looked over at the happy couple sitting against the back wall of the cave. It was so easy for them to show affection to each other without being judged. Sun wished that she could share her affection with Jack just as openly. However, for her it was impossible. There was still Jin. Even if they were as good as divorced, Sun still respected Jin and his emotions. Sun put it out of her mind for now and concentrated on Jack. He was still extremely tense. She gently began to work the tense muscles in the shoulders.

Sun laughed melifluously.

"If I had known earlier that this is all it would take to make you relax, I would have done it a long time ago," Sun said, chuckling.

She continued to skillfully massage Jack's shoulders. She could feel his muscles slowly loosen and relax under her touch. Sun didn't care if the other survivors were staring, at least Jin wasn't there. Oh, no. Where is Jin? Sun thought to herself. She gasped and momentarily tightened her grip on Jack's shoulders. Sun quickly caught herself and continued her gentle massage. She tried her best not to worry or let that worry run her emotions. Sun was a grown man, he could take care of himself. Then again...
