I had been trying to write this ever since Eggtown, but for some reason, could only finish it now.

Ha, that does sound dirty. Maybe I should reword that. I had it in my head when I first started this story back in March that he did not want to stay, but had to. Even after SNBH, I stand by that. I think that Sawyer will choose to stay in order to search for Claire. At least that is what I would like to see happen.

But I am glad that you liked it. I know there is more to the show than this, but I cannot help but wish that the writers would give us more that just the glimpses they have of Hurley and Sawyer as roommates. They could not be more opposite, and yet, you get the impression that they have grown really close, especially in light of the "You harm as much as one hair on his curly head, I’ll kill you" comment. I hate that they are separated. :(
