Summary: He's not supposed to play this game.
You have to catch me, she whispers. Sawyer isn’t good at this game (isn’t good with trust). Promise? And she’s so much like a little girl then, all giggles and blonde hair. He swears he isn’t going to touch her again, but he has to do this.
Alright, I promise. Just fall already. How many times has he said those words? (never that way, never the same way twice)
Claire falls back, Sawyer catches her. See? Not so hard.
It’s not so hard now (but it’s harder later, when people are around to watch).
She’s not his to catch.
And he’s not supposed to play this game anyway.
