CHAPTER ONE - WELCOME TO NASSAU

Eleanor and John B had been aimlessly floating around the ocean before eventually regaining consciousness. The two were barely holding onto the boat, their life jackets the only thing keeping them afloat.

Once they caught sight of a boat in the distance, they made as much noise as they could to catch their attention. Eleanor lifted the chunk of gold up so it reflected from the sun causing the boat to finally turn around.

A man came straight to their aid, putting blankets over their shoulders as he helped them onto the boat and into the cabin.

"Come on in and get warm, guys. Yo, Larry, put some soup on!" He said as they walked in "Watch your step. Come on, get in there"

They were soon handed two cups of coffee as Eleanor whispered a quiet thank you, sitting down on a black chair.

"You just made my day a whole lot more interesting. Now, where in the hell were y'all trying to get to anyway?" He asked as the two could hardly muster up a reply from how much they were shivering.

"Could you just drop us off at the next port, please?" Eleanor asked as John B wrapped his arm around her shoulders before kissing the top of her head.

"I was young and in love once. Turned into a goddamn disaster" The man laughed "It was fun while it lasted, though"

"Where'd you say you were going again?" John B looked over at the man.

"Nassau"

Eleanor couldn't believe their luck "The Bahamas. Holy shit John B, the gold" John B smiled as the girl cuddled closer to him.

Now inside one of the compartments of the boat, on a bed, laid John B and Eleanor wrapped up in each other's arms.

"El?" John B whispered causing Eleanor to hum, her eyes closed as she tried to catch up on some sleep "Do you wanna get married?"

Eleanor smiled as her eyes stayed closed "No"

John B frowned "No?"

"No" She repeated whilst still smiling.

"What-how come?" John B asked.

"You don't have any prospects and neither do I" She reminded him.

"Ouch" John B said, faking his hurt as he placed his hand over his heart.

"So it's not about the money?" She said before opening her eyes "Or is it?"

"No I guess not" The boy shrugged "You're pretty good lucking"
