love overboard

4

Ben woke up and decided to check the trap and sure enough it was more fish this time four.

He figured he would clean all of them and set the trap back up. He needed to cook them all because he didn't want the other ones to go bad.

After he had them hanging ,cooking he started working on there hut. He wanted this to be really nice to live in. If they were going to do it, they might as well do it right.

Miranda came outside just as Ben took the fish off of the fire.

"The trap caught all of these." Miranda said.

"Yeah you are a born fisherman." Ben said giving her props.

Miranda looked at him with a toothy grin. They ate and they began to start working on their hut. The frame was just about finish, they wanted to make sure it was sturdy.

The frame looked almost like a house you would draw on a piece of paper, a rectangle or square bottom with a triangle on the top.

Ben stood back to look at it. They needed to make a ladder to attach to the front, almost like a ramp to go inside. She knew that they were going to make their sleeping place up top. On the right hand side.

She was excited for it to be finished. The started adding the interior sticks around the frame.

"So tell me more about yourself." Ben said looking at her as they used the vines to tie to sticks to the frame.

"Um I'm from Boston. I was a shy nerdy girl that loved to read and loved Sci-fi all the way up until I was 28 about to turn 29. I lost the shyness not the book reading sci-fi loving because I very well still enjoy that. I realized I couldn't be shy and quiet throughout my intern year otherwise people would walk over me and to top it off I was short. I wore glasses too, up until my intern year. I married Tucker my freshman year of college. " Miranda said and Ben looked at her shocked.

" Yeah right. I was 18 and thought I knew what I wanted forever. Our ten year anniversary was my second year of residency. That didn't go as planned. I got called into work in the middle of our dinner. A train had derailed.

"Oh I remember that day we had some patients to be sent to us from that accident. " Ben said

"Yupe so that was that, then months later I found out I was pregnant and I think having his son is what made him hate that it was me." Miranda said as she sighed.

"What do you mean." Ben asked .

"He always wanted children, that was one of our dreams together but I think he could tolerate me being a surgeon with out the kids. Like he wanted a baby but he hated that it was me, the busy surgeon who gave him one. He wanted me home more than anything and off course I wanted to be home. I wanted to help raise my son just a much as he did and because he was an accountant he had the hours to do so. But I couldn't, my job wasn't going to wait for me and his did. He quit his job for a year to be at home with our son but it seemed like it made him hate me more because he felt like he was doing it by himself." Miranda said.

"Like for example. He got to see my baby take his first steps because they were at home together and then he texted me to tell me that he did. Now I'm broken and hurt in the inside because as a women and a mother who would want to miss their baby's first steps. So I cried by myself about it but then my husband literally chews me out and tell how bad of a mother I am because I wasn't there but I already feel bad enough so he made it worse. He didn't understand that I wanted to be there. Things just seemed to get worse between us as the years went bye because it was constantly happening like that. I asked to have Tuck at the hospital daycare, so I could spend my lunches with him and he bitched about that. Then I found out he was having an affair with a mom. Not a sexual one but he actually liked this woman. We ended up going to a counselor and now we were going on this cruise to reconnect and now I'm here." Miranda said.
