Quinn . I was sitting on a wooden chair, holding a broomstick in one hand while observing Xavion as he gathered the scattered wood debris. The area has been thoroughly cleaned, and there is a noticeable improvement compared to three days ago. We never stop working. We only stop to eat and have a little rest. I was preparing for our dinner when I heard a knock on the door. I smiled and looked in that direction. "Come in, Xav." The door opened, and it was him. Obviously, it's only the two of us here on the Island. My heart beat faster the moment our eyes met. As he smiled, I reciprocated with a smile of my own. His gesture helped ease the tension between us, which brought me a sense of relief. It was yesterday's first time I saw his smile towards me, and I was over the moon. Finally, he is opening his heart to me. "I have brought some ointment for you. I discovered additional supplies in the storage room. Reeve used to utilize it as he had a severe allergy to the prickly bush s

Quinn . "It's getting better. Thank you for asking." I rolled back the bandage around my wound as I didn't want any bacteria around it. It's itchy, and there are times that I want to itch it so severely. "Just add more antiseptic cream if it feels itchy," he suggested. "That's what I've been doing, Xav. Last night was the worst. I was about to itch it, but I stopped myself. I ended up counting the sugar in bits and pieces." I rolled my tongue, and I wished it were a joke. But it wasn't a joke at all. His eyebrows crossed, and he said, "What?" He chuckled slightly with an unbelievable smile and shook his head. "Yes, I counted them because I couldn't sleep." I rested my arms on the sand while looking at the waves. We were sunbathing. Initially, I was alone, but later he joined me. I washed the cooking pot and used the sand as the scrubber. It worked. At least the black stain of the pot bum from the fire cooking got clean. Although it wasn't that clean but it's manageable. "You a

Quinn . I can't hide my smile while watching the little fishes swim fast inside the aquarium. Xavion didn't fill the aquarium with much water. It was only less than half, but it was enough for the fish anyway. They seem lovely to see, giving me a fulfilling feeling every time I look at them. My problems faded, and my worries were thrown aside. I have no concerns with me now. The tension I felt for him has dissipated, and I am now comfortable around him during our time here. As long as I don't stare into his eyes too much, my feelings for him no longer worry me. I will not be defeated like how I used to be. "Have you toured around the Island? I wonder what's on the other side?" I expressed. When I first came here, I got bored and started my journey of travelling the Island to a full three hundred sixty degrees. But that didn't give me a good outcome. I ended up walking back to my journey five hours later. I realised there was no way to tour the Island in just one day. It takes a

Quinn . I know Xavion will pay no interest in me and probably will get bored of my story. He hated me so much. I saw that. I am not blind to that. On rare occasions, I sense his frustration, but it’s not a frequent occurrence. Despite his icy gaze, I believe he has a kind heart that is eager to embrace me. I just need to break the ice to get into his heart. Way more to go, Quinn. You can do this! We reached three-quarters around, and the beauty of the Island was the same. Despite the need for cleaning up the litter that has washed up on the rough side of the shore from other parts of the world, the Island still showcases its natural beauty. There are plenty of crabs. Most of them are edible but very hard to catch. There are a lot of clams, and some are safe to eat at this part. The water is crystal clear, and you can see more fish swimming in this part closer to us. They can’t be caught because they move too quickly, and acquiring specific equipment is necessary to catch one. It

Xavion . I walked away the moment we arrived. I want to be alone for a moment. I don't know what's wrong with me lately. I have this feeling that she needs to survive without me. She's clingy at times and eager to learn things but scared. Something is off about her, and I want to know why. Looking back, I realise I should have conducted thorough research then. However, since I didn't want to reintegrate into her life, I neglected the critical tasks that needed my attention. "Dammit, Quinn, you are doing my head in," I whispered silently, and my body deflated on the chair. I'm inside the helicopter. Everything seems fine, except for the minor damage on the propeller. I'm just waiting for the boys to arrive and assist me. It has been three days since I last received a strong signal from them. Today, I am hoping for a positive outcome. It's easy for the boys to get here unless Bryce intentionally delays things. Damn, that lunatic. He is doing this on purpose. I connected a f
