“Come on, take a bite,” she said expectantly.


    He opened his mouth and ate a little. The strange fishy vor filled his mouth at once. He slightly


    furrowed his brows in disgust. But when he looked at Debbie, she looked content. She was really a


    trooper.


    Debbie shouldn’t spend the rest of her life on such a desert ind.


    She wasn’t spoiled or ungrateful. That kind of woman deserved every good thing that came her way.


    “No way. I have to get her back home, ‘ he swore in his mind.


    A few minutes Later, when Carlos was eating the roasted fish and Debbie was munching on the lobster,


    they heard a loud sound above their heads.


    They exchanged nces with each other, excitement evident in their eyes.


    Simultaneously, they Looked up at the sky. A helicopter was hovering up there, and several more were


    on an approach vector. When she spotted them, Debbie immediately threw away the lobster, sending


    the carcass skidding across the sand. She jumped up and down, waving her hands vigorously.


    “Over here! Hey!” she shouted to the helicopters in


    English. The lead one dropped Lower. She could see it was one of the

    “Uh huh. They came. We’re safe.” He said it somewhat wistfully. While they hadn’t had the easiest time


    of it, there was the fact that he didn’t have to sit in the office all day, working his fingers to the bone.


    When he was exhausted on the ind, it was from real work.
