We stopped by my cottage first to see if Keir was awake yet.

He was still snoring loudly.

We didn't want to wake him up so we went to Lilabeths cottage to change.

Her cottage was charming, with soft pink walls and sweet little flowers all over the place.

Not my type of style but lovely nonetheless.

I stripped off my dress.

"Oh my- cal" she shielded her eyes away.

I laughed. "Lila I have a bathing suit on."

She uncovered her eyes slowly.

"You're very confident" she giggled.

I walked over to her wardrobe and grabbed a set of clothes out for us.

"I am just not threatened. I don't care who sees my body, just as long as they don't touch." I mumbled setting out the outfits.

Lila pointed to a pair of denim overalls on the bed. "I love these." she said picking them up.

I tossed her a cropped white tank top.

"Put it on" I chuckled at her excitement.

I lifted up a pair of tight black polyester shorts and a matching cropped tank top.

"Do you mind if I borrow these?" I asked.

"You can keep them if you want, they're.. a little too much for me" she giggled sliding on the overalls.

I added a black baseball cap and pulled my long hair up in a hair tie. 

Lila threw me an old pair of shoes and some white socks.

"I'll grab us some water and we'll head out." she smiled.

This girl always looked happy.

Funny how we really do attract our opposite.

While I waited for her, I prepared myself for what was about to go down.

Ambrose is about to give me a lot of shit. But this time I was prepared to contain myself.

I would ignore the man and do the work I promised to do. 

Lila emerged with two little pastel jugs of water. 

"Lets go!" 

She lead me deeper into the trees. 

We passed through the mainland and took a turn down a path that lead us down to the adjacent side of the island. 

A large sailboat stood in front of me. 

A whole bunch of people were dragging supplies and climbing up, down and through the unfinished structure of the boat. 

"Calle, Lila over here!" Kallen yelled. 

He was jerking his hand around like a madman trying to get our attention. 

I approached them. 

"You sure took your sweet ass time." Keir teased coming from behind them to wrap his arm around me. 

"Keir? How'd you get here before me?" I laughed as he peppered kisses on my cheek. 

Kallen rolled his eyes. 

"We broke into his room and forced him here to help. We need all the muscle we can get to finish this before another storm breaks through." Carsan announced joining the group.
