I was broken from my thoughts by Dylan waking up besides me. His arm pulled me back to him, I turned and hugged him back. He sighed and I smiled. I  got up on my elbow and looked down into his face. It was relaxed in sleep and I felt my heart squeeze in my chest. Before I lost my courage, I touched his ear with my lips and murmured "I love you." Before I could react, I was flipped over and Dylan was standing on top of me.

"Good to know. I've been waiting for months to hear you say it. I love you too. You're the most precious woman in all the world for me. I love you like no other."

We were so distracted that we only heard the noise when it was almost on top of us.

"Is that... Is that an helicopter?"

"Yes, I think it is." He pulled his clothes on very fast, while I put on the homemade wrap dress and I ran after him. He already had  the fire burning and it's thick cloud smoke making me cough. We ran towards the beach where there was a clear view, and when we saw the helicopter turn back we waved and screamed. For a second, we thought they hadn't seen us, but they started landing where there was more space. I ran back towards the hut and put on all my clothes. The panties, pants, my bra and the two tops.

I took my makeup bag and ran back towards the beach so Dylan had the chance of dressing himself as well. Since the chopper was landing far away, I sat down on a convenient stone and put on my grey eye-shadow on the beginning of the eyes, then the black one, to create a gradient colour, put on my liquid eyeliner on the upper lid only, and khol on the bottom lid. I also put a slightly red lip gloss and waited for the men or women to come to us.

I saw people running and Dylan arrived to my side at that moment, hugging me. They came near us and shouted over the roar of the helicopter.

"Who Are you?"

"We're Dylan and Nyx, We've been here for over 5 months lost."

"Oh my God. It's them!!!!!!!!! It's the missing kids. Tell the pilot to call for backup. Are you guys ok? Do you need an ambulance or anything?"

"No, thank you we're fine. We just want to take a hot shower. We've taken river baths for too long." Dylan was the one talking. I was just there, hugging him and my head laid on his shoulder. His arms were around me and I was taken by fear. Would he forget me now? We are saved, would he still claim to love me? Would he even look at me again, when we'd be surrounded by all beautiful women out there? I hugged him tighter and together we waited for the other chopper, waited to be brought back to our lives...

They took us back to the civilization, gave us showers, new clothes. There were no family or friends waiting for us. Only the press. In great numbers.

We spent the night in a hotel, paid by the authorities. Dylan snuck into my room in the middle of the night and we made love again, in a real bed, with real covers. We fell asleep hugging, like we slept in the island.

sorry for the short chapter, but this one is short on purpose. It's the transition, and for it to come out the way I want it to, I had to make this short.
