Just me and the speck, shootin' the breeze. We're a club. We're a group. We can be a secret society. And no one else can join, unless they wear funny hats.
She didn’t know when they became a couple, even if they were apart...but one day it was just the two of them, no matter where they were.
It might have happened at the trial...his dear and solemn countenance proclaiming to the world that she was the hero, the island savior. Breaking her heart and his own in one final attempt to fix what was broken...make things, make her right again.
Further back, it could have been the rescue...when she’d been locked to his side on the chopper and later the freighter, when all that had kept her standing in the face of news cameras and shouted questions was that strong, familiar arm around her shoulders...keeping mother and child away from the onslaught of relentless reporters when he could hardly bear to do so.
The island was the most obvious place...left with nowhere to run, he became her last safe refuge. Being with Jack was like running free through a field. It was open and massive and the one place where she could run to and never stop going...never stop moving.
Even further back, Kate had to wonder if they hadn’t been together from the beginning...born as interlocking puzzle pieces that merely found their way to the right places on the table. Even when they weren’t together, they were perfectly matched...somehow, the world was always in balance because he was the man who put things back together, and she was the woman who inherently always brought about the events that would tear everything apart.
They fit...they were. It was an oddly zen state to be in, but one Kate could find peace in for now.
He’d helped her fix something inside of her, even at the cost of breaking something inside himself...and still they found a place to fit each other when they were apart.
They would always be a couple...even if they never saw each other again. No matter where they were...it was always going to be the two of them.
Together.
