With her call , Sawyer opened his eyes , looking somewhat dazed . " Why are you here ? " He had pushed Kate to the floor . Her expression instantly fell , full of grievance .

" Honey , why did you push me ? " " I'm not used to people touching me suddenly . My guard is high when I sleep , " Sawyer said as he sat up . Kate wasn't hurt .
