While Darcy busied himself making a spear the next morning, Lizzy recovered more materials from the jungle and driftwood from the beach to build a signal fire. If they kept their smaller fire burning—and they had every intention of doing so, since it had taken the two of them quite a long time to figure out how to start a spark yesterday when neither one of them had ever even lit a fire in a fireplace before—they could quickly light the bonfire to signal for help if they saw a ship approaching.

She looked up when Mr. Darcy cursed, shocked at his lapsed manners. “Is everything all right, Will?”

He looked at her, flushing. “My apologies, Lizzy. These blasted fish are far too difficult to spear. I suspect the article I read was full of distortions and contrivances.”

Her lips twitched as she moved away from the bonfire, holding out her hand. “I should very much like to try.”

With a frown, he passed it over to her. “It is difficult, I warn you.”

She nodded. “I do enjoy a challenge.” At first, she started out on the beach as he had been, but that seemed illogical to her. It took forever for fish to even come close, so she lifted her nightdress, her dress still in her satchel, and wrapped it around her waist. She ignored Darcy’s indrawn breath as she plunged into the water, standing still for what felt like forever.

Her first few attempts ended ignobly, but she let out a cry of delight when the next time she tried, she speared a large fish. “I have one,” she cried out with glee as she turned to face him, grasping the fish firmly by the gills. She squirmed at the sensation before he took it from her.

She expected him to be disgruntled, and he looked mildly displeased until he saw the fish. “Well done, Lizzy. I shall clean it if you would like to try to catch another?”

She nodded as she turned back to her task. “You know how to clean a fish, Mr. Darcy?”

“Indeed. I am quite adept at hunting and fishing. I have been doing so since before I can fully remember. Both my father and my uncle, the Earl of Matlock, were avid sportsmen. Uncle still does the occasional spot of hunting these days.”

“It could prove quite useful for us then.” Lizzy paused, holding her breath as a large fish swam by before darting back to her. When it was near a rock, she rushed forward, shoving the spear forcefully into it. She had a wince of regret for the poor thing as it flopped against the rock for a moment while she tugged loose the spear. The fish started to slip away, but she reached out and grabbed it, thankful it was slowed by its current condition. She tossed it on the beach to Darcy, who was currently busy stripping skin and fish guts from the first catch.

As she turned to walk toward him, deciding they had enough fish for the evening, she was unexpectedly overcome with arousal at the primitive sight before her.
