Cameron: Are you in NZ?
Cameron: How did you get over here?
Cameron: The last ferry was a long ass time ago, before you even started walking.
Cameron: You posted on Instagram.
Nil: I guess I'm in NZ
Nil: I got on a fishers boat and he dropped me off on a shore when he found me 🤷‍♀️
Cameron: I'm coming to get you, are there any landmarks you can see?
Nil: 🤷‍♀️
Cameron: He dropped you off at a dock right?
Nil: sure
Cameron: Stay where you are.

Half an hour later Cameron pulled up to the docks he knew we're more popular among the fishing boats and got out of his car. He looked at her Instagram post again and started looking around for an area that's almost similar even though you can't see much from the post.

He walked the docks for a good ten minutes before spotting a girl sitting with her feet in the water.

"Nil?" Cam questions as he approaches her slowly.

She looks up at him and nods.

"Come on," he nods his head back in the direction of his car.

"Sit for a bit," she pats the dock next to her.

Cam looks at her but she's turned to look back out at the ocean so he gives in and sits next to her.

They sat quietly for a good fifteen minutes before Cam broke the silence.

"Why is it always the ocean?" He asks, referencing when she said she often ends up on a shoreline.

"Why wouldn't it be. Look at it, it's gorgeous. Close your eyes and you can hear it and smell it. You can feel it in the air when you're by an ocean." She explains with closed eyes.

"So you just really like swimming?" Cam looks over at her and she flinches.

"I can't swim," she sighs and opens her eyes again.

"What?! You were on a boat! You're telling me you regularly end up close to something that could so easily kill-" Cam starts but she stands and holds her hand out.

"I'm ready to go," she says and he sighs, taking her hand to stand.

"Oh wow you're not as short as I thought you'd be," Cam notices. He was 6'6 so usually he towers over people by a good foot but she wasn't too much shorter than him.

"Oh I'm normally 5'10. I'm wearing combat boots that have a two inch heel though," she looks down at her boots.

"Well let's go then," Cam smiles and they walk back over to his car.

They were driving for about 20 minutes in uncomfortable silence when Cam starts looking around.

"Are you hungry? I don't have any food at my place so we'll have to stop somewhere,"

"I'm fine, I have food in my bag," she points down at the small backpack she wears.

Cam nods and the car is silent again. A comfortable silence this time.

When they pulled up to his place Nil looked around.

"Are you looking for something?" Cam asks as he gets out of his car, waiting for her to get out as well.

"Just looking to see the area. It's a nice place you have, from the outside at least," she shrugs as she gets out of the car and he locks it.

"I thought you were suspicious, thinking I'd kill you or something." He laughs and she just shrugs.

"Wouldn't matter if you did," she shrugs with a chuckle. "Besides, if I really thought that I would've hopped another boat before you showed up at the dock."

"Well let's get inside and play a game or something." Cam smiles and she nods.
