Hope

I dipped my toes in the water and closed my eyes. For a moment I pretended I was dreaming, but like every time I’d had that delusion in the past few days, I opened my eyes to find myself right back where I started. I pushed away those thoughts and focused instead on Ryan Carter.

I had no idea who he was, but I had trouble believing he was a doctor. I’d known it from the moment we first made eye contact. I also knew he had an effect on me I’d never experienced before in my life.

I pushed the second thought away. It couldn’t help me. I needed to find out if he was on their side or mine. Of course he was probably on their side, but then did why did I want to trust him? Was it just because his eyes seemed to see deep into my soul, or the way he looked in that blazer? No, there was something about him that made me wonder if he was hiding something from Justin. Anyone willing to hide something from Justin was a potential ally of mine right now.

I opened my eyes and blinked a few times. The sun was still high in the sky, and the bright afternoon was nothing like the darkness when I closed my eyes. I never thought I’d prefer darkness to the brightness of a sunny day on the beach, but that was because I never expected to end up stranded on an island with a crazy man.

“Hey.”

I jumped at the sound of the voice behind me before composing myself and turning around. I knew exactly who’d I find, yet I was still surprised by Ryan’s friendly face. There was a hesitation there, as if he was nervous. What in the world did he have to be nervous about? “Hi. Get tired of Justin too?”

He smiled ever so slightly. It was there one moment and then disappeared the next. “Maybe.”

“Have you come to talk some sense into me? Huh? Remind me how my freedom is all in my hands?” I tried to ignore the way his eyes raked over me. Would he be doing that if he was really working for the Wellingtons? Maybe. I wouldn’t put anything past the people that associated with them.

“No.” He sat down on a boulder jutting out near the water. “I’m here to talk.”

“Talk?” I replied as evenly as possible. “About what?”

“I don’t know. What sorts of things do you like to talk about?”

I laughed despite not wanting to. “Oh boy. Let’s see. I like to talk about getting home.” It was what kept me sane, thinking about getting back to a normal life.

“I mean before you came here. What did you like to talk about?” His eyes seemed kind, and from what I could tell he actually meant the question. He wanted to know. The real question was why.

“Before or after meeting Mirabella?” It was depressing how my life could be segmented that way. There was the life before, living in the Atlanta suburbs with my parents and two little brothers.
