You may say to yourself: "Well, how did I get here?"

Skye nibbled the end of her protein bar and sat back against the cliff.
Dangling her legs over the lip of the ledge, she watched Henrik absently as he instructed the two teens in basic climbing technique. Though she was watching the scene below, her mind was somewhere else completely.
The ridiculousness of the entire situation made her let out a stress giggle and Henrik looked up concerned.
Smiling, she waved him off... letting him know with the small gesture that she was okay.
Henrik beamed at her in that sweet way of his, lifting his hand in a small wave.
Skye smiled back at him but internally wanted to kick herself... her life was a mess right now and here was this amazing guy who didn't care. All he wanted to do was make her happy and move forward in their life together.
'What did I do to deserve him? DO I really deserve him?' she thought incredulously to herself.
Skye looked out across the horizon and mused, her mind drifting back over her recent past..
At the beginning it all seemed crazy and nothing she expected. Her friend and coworker Molly had submitted an application for the upcoming season of Love Island pretending to be Skye on a lark. She still couldn't believe she'd been so sneaky....
What had brought her to this moment... the real beginning... had been the night Skye had opened up to Molly over drinks in the Peruvian cantina that she was tired of feeling lonely and sad. Who could have predicted what would come from that confession?
While she loved working for the WCS (Wildlife Conservation Society) as a lead field veterinarian, it made it extremely difficult to meet guys or build a relationship....
Skye wanted a love relationship like the one her parent's had, and since she refused to date guys she worked with.... that left her with few serious prospects.
The rest had happened so quickly...
It had been surreal honestly, following a tidal wave of multiple long distance satellite phone and video interviews... BOOM she was cast on the show! All so unbelievable, until she was sat in her seat on the plane. Up until then it had felt like a fever dream to be honest.
Skye thought back over the course of the show....
She had been so nervous walking out to meet the boys that first day that she'd almost bolted. Remembering how she'd paused for a moment before she thought she could be seen... Skye had instead turned to find the most amazing amber eyes staring at her.
And then he smiled, a mischievous twinkle sparked in his eyes. God... he was gorgeous!
