Title: I Don't Miss You At All
Rating: PG
Summary: Truth is, Sawyer always expected her to leave. She always leaves.
Disclaimer: I do not own Lost. At all. I wish but alas...
Author's Note: Set post 'Eggtown'.



Truth is, Sawyer always expected her to leave. She always leaves. And he thinks that the shot to the face just may have been worth it for finally getting to say the unspoken ugly truth of who Kate really is that had been on his mind for a very long time.

He expected the eventual disagreement, her anger, even her pause at the door, the look in her eyes all but telling him outright that she expected to be asked to stay – like maybe she would stay if he said he was sorry. Sorry for what? For getting tired of the game? For actually saying something about it? For telling the damn truth.

No. He wasn’t apologizing. He would have thought she knew him better than that. Or maybe she did; maybe she just asked him for something she knew he wouldn’t give so that she had the excuse to walk away.

Either way, it didn’t matter much, because he saw it coming from a mile away. He expected to watch her walk out the door, just as she was doing now, and leave almost as quickly as she had come.

He expected it, sure. But a punch hurts just as much whether you see it coming or not.

Yeah, like that last line. One may be expecting it, but it hurts all the same. ;) Gob job!

From what we've seen Sawyer always leaves, he's not used to being the one left behind. It must make this whole new experience of caring even more difficult than it already is, especially as he did the right thing by calling Kate on her game. I agree that maybe he should have been more dimplomatic about it, but the basic facts are true.

Sawyer has always been the one to leave in the end, so he really hasn't been the one that gets left until Kate, who can't seem to figure out who she is, where she wants to be, or who she wants to be with. And even though he obviously cares about her, that has to get tiring after a while.
