He folds the last of Jack’s shirts, closes the case, and locks it. Then he picks up a smaller bag and heads for the bathroom. Somehow packing up Jack’s toiletries is the hardest part of the job. He thinks of Jack in California, packing his razor, his shampoo, his toothbrush. He thinks of the level of trust it must’ve taken to make such a leap of faith, to pack up his things and leave his home to come here, to Sawyer’s. Then his thoughts stray and he wonders what Jack’s doing now, at this very minute. Is he thinking of Sawyer? Soon he’ll be getting in his car and beginning the drive home. He’ll be wondering what’s for dinner. He’ll be wondering what Sawyer’s wearing, and what they’ll do later on in bed. He’ll be looking forward to coming home. To a home he hates but looks forward to coming back to anyway, because Sawyer is there.
Sorry to quote so much but that very nearly made me cry and I am NOT a crier in the slightest bit. This part hurt so incredibly much. Margo is a cold, hard bitch and I hate what she is doing to Sawyer. In a way I understand her point of view, if I were her, I would probably think Sawyer was conning Jack too. She doesn't have a reason at all to trust Sawyer and the huge changes Jack has made in his life would probably have any mother worried. They are big changes. But the way she is handling the situation is despicable and I feel so horribly that Sawyer is the one who is going to push Jack away. Sawyer may think that losing him would be less hard on Jack than if Margo told Jack, but I don't think he's right. Sawyer pushing Jack away for no reason is only going to make Jack want to know what's going on; he'll find out eventually. It's inevitable because Jack is stubborn.
I like it that you can see Margo's side, even though she's the "enemy." To her, Sawyer is the enemy, and she's got a valid reason for believing it. But she's also guilty, and she's handling things the cowardly way.
I'm so happy to see you here in my crazy 'verse! *hugs*
