Lincoln wakes up first with Ronnie Anne still laying on his side, his arm still around her. He kisses her on the forehead and decides to go out and looks for some breakfast for the two of them. He carves her a note in the side of the hut. He leaves. Ronnie Anne wakes up a short time later. At first she's worried that he's gone, but notices the note he left for her.

"Ronnie Anne, I went to find us breakfast. I will be back soon. Xoxoxo."

Ronnie Anne can't help but be humbled by the note and cracks a big smile. She goes out to sit on the beach and wait for him to come back. Lincoln comes back a while later with eggs and a pig he hunted.

Ronnie Anne: "That's a lot of breakfast, Linc. How did you get the pig?!"

Lincoln: "I can make spears with the sticks and rocks here. We need to eat some protein, anyway." 

Lincoln proceeds to cut open the pig to remove all the good meat. He makes a fire with his multitool. He take some rocks to put over the fire and starts to cook.

Ronnie Anne: "Wow, you're good at this."

Lincoln: "Thank you. I learned all this from my dad."

He finishes cooking and they both chow down.

Lincoln: "Hey, I have a question."

Ronnie Anne: "Shoot, Linc."

Lincoln: "Do you want to try the dance again? Maybe we can make it work this time. My phone should have just enough battery for a few songs."

Ronnie Anne: "Of course!"

They finish eating. Lincoln grabs his phone turns it on. The phone is at 35%.

Lincoln: "It has more battery than I anticipated."

He goes through his phone.

Lincoln: "Oh, here's the perfect song!"

Ronnie Anne: "Don't make it too mushy. I don't like that stuff."

Lincoln plays the song "River Flows in you" by Yiruma.

Lincoln: "May I have this dance?"

Ronnie Anne just looks at him: "Sure, why not, lame-o?"

Lincoln takes her hand and they both start to sway with the music. They slowly sway back and forth. They look deep into each other eyes. They share a few kisses. 

Lincoln: "You know, I know one thing we should do with the phone before it dies."

Ronnie Anne: "What's that?"

Lincoln: "Let's make a video or two of us explaining what happened, and that we are okay here. That way in case, you know, the unthinkable happens to us. That way if they find the phone, maybe our family and friends could have some closure."

Ronnie Anne: "That's okay. Let's dance a little more. I actually enjoy this."

Lincoln: "Do you think all the times we fought with each other, we were just repressing our feelings for one another. You know, I never actually hated you."

Ronnie Anne: "Maybe you're right. I never actually hated you either. I guess I just had feelings I didn't know how to express. Even as I gotten older. I can't say how sorry I am for the way I treated you."

Lincoln: "I said it's okay. I feel bad for how I treated you, too. I guess I didn't know how to express my feelings either. I mean, we're still pretty young. We're both 18."

Ronnie Anne tears up and starts to speak. But Lincoln lets out a gentle "Shush" and puts his finger over her mouth.

Lincoln: "It's okay, my love, mi amor."
