Spoilers through end of third season~*~*~*~*~
He didn't like her. In fact, most days he hated her. They had been oil and water since they day she came aboard Galactica. She was a hotshot troublemaker who needed taken down a peg or two but always seemed to come out on top, especially where the old man was concerned. It didn't matter that she was a damn fine pilot and soldier, he'd never admit it to her. He knew what she said about him in private was only marginally nastier than what she said to his face. She'd never mixed words when it came to him and he'd done the same.

He never wished her harm, never wanted to see her dead. He understood what losing her would do to the Admiral. He just hadn't understood what her loss would do to him. A light had been shut out for all of them.
