"Night, James," she says with a soft smile, disappearing into her room. She sits quietly for a while on her bed after undressing and changing into pajamas.

She's never been looked after before, cared for, and she knows this is where she's supposed to be now. And she cries, not because she's sad, but because finally, after three years, she's letting go of Rachel and Julian. She's never getting back, but maybe, finally, the idea of it doesn't leave her feeling aching and hollow. She falls asleep, thinking about James.

Their routine is easy and comfortable, falling into a quiet routine of working around one another's schedules. They still go out into the jungle, but now it's in their own spare time. She never stops thinking about the way he makes her feel and the way she leans into his touches now.

Somehow she finds out he really likes the DHARMA waffle mix, so she wakes up early on their Saturday off, and standing barefoot in the kitchen in shorts and a white t-shirt, she makes the waffles with bacon, brews some coffee, and just waits for him to wake up while she sits at the table, just drinking coffee for now while reading a book.
