Lost drabble: A Moment (Sawyer/Juliet)
Written for the lostsquee 2010 drabble challenge ( original appearance) in response to the prompt ease. Dharma era Sawyer/Juliet.

He settled into the couch, relaxing. Thinking about the words embroidered on his Dharmaralls made him laugh; sometimes he felt he'd burst with the effort of holding it all inside.

But he was good at the job, took it seriously (mostly), and had to admit that honest work wasn't half bad.
Kitchen chores finished, Juliet put the vase on the coffee table before snuggling against his side.
"Thanks."
"For the flower?"
She closed her eyes, smiling. "For talking me into staying."
