Summary: One night, seven years before the plane crash, James Ford embarked on what he thought would be "just another" job. His mark was named Katherine Austin, and all he knew was she was the daughter of Peter Austin, who'd made his millions through shipping. He didn't expect one night with the energetic, free-spirited brunette to change his outlook on life and love.
AU. Although, I suppose, if you look at it with your eyes squinted and your head tilted to the side, it's kind of canon.

1. Socialites always stand out.

Ninety-five percent of the time, James Ford could identify the wealthiest girl in the crowd without so much as a glance. It was the exotic yet subtle whiff of Clive Christian No.1, the quiet respect that came over the room, the musical laughter.

It was the plasticity and pretense, the overwhelming tension in the air, that gave away the presence of the night’s heaviest hitter.

So when none of this had occurred two hours into the charity gambling event, James began to wonder if his sixth sense was failing him. He’d researched the event thoroughly, and multiple sources had confirmed that Katherine Austin, heiress to the Austin shipping fortune, would be in attendance.

James leaned against the far wall, taking in the action as his ‘peers’ spent more money in an hour than he could hope to make in a year.

Suckers.

With a shake of his shaggy blonde hair, he bent his head down and pulled out a cigarette, hands posed awkwardly at his chest as he slipped it into his mouth, trying to avoid being noticed.

“No smoking in here,” said a light female voice, and he felt someone collapse against the wall next to him.

He reached up to get rid of his cigarette, but a touch on his forearm stopped him. “Light me up?”

His laugh was raspier than he expected, and he studied her from the corner of his eye. Straight, chestnut hair framed a face of olive skin. With a slow nod, he pulled his lighter from his pocket, first lighting the cigarette pinched between his teeth, and then the one she held out toward him.

“Slow night?” she asked after a minute, taking a deep drag on her cigarette.

James frowned. “Not really. Lots to see.”

“Could have fooled me,” she muttered, adjusting the hem on her coral shirt. “Do you go to these things a lot?”

“Nah,” he answered, cocking his head to the side as he looked at her. “I was lookin’ for someone, actually.”

“Oh? Who were you looking for?” she asked, her lips slightly curved in a smile. “Maybe I can help.”

James’ eyes scanned the room once more before shrugging. “Maybe. Do you know Kate Austin? I was ‘sposed to meet up with her here.”

The woman’s expression faltered for a brief moment, but her easygoing smile quickly reappeared. “She’s a friend of mine. Why’d she want to see you?”

“We started a conversation at the club earlier,” James lied glibly, “We were comparin’ stories of St. Tropez.”

“Katie was never much of a fan of St. Tropez,” the woman laughed, shaking her head. “You must’ve gotten yourself into quite the argument there.”

Sh*t. “Well, uh, it was certainly an interesting discussion.”

“I’ll bet.” The woman pushed herself off the wall, turning her doubtful gaze on him. “But try again.”

“Beg your pardon?” James asked, alarmed.

The woman held out her hand for James to shake. “Kate Austin. And I’ve never been to the club and my trip to St. Tropez lasted eight hours.”




There's a lot of profanity, and since I don't want to offend anyone, I'll post a link to the story for anyone interested in reading more.
