and didn’t need to. His life had a purpose now.
    The island knows what you need…
    Blearily Joely rubbed her hands over her eyes, studying me, probably debating whether or not I’d gone crazy or been replaced by one of her Bermuda Triangle aliens. I grin as, finally, she crosses to the cooler in the small cargo area of the puddle jumper. Fishing out a can of cola dripping with condensation, she cracks the top and chugs.
    “I need fifteen to do my checks, then we’ll fly.”
    She’s true to her word. Fifteen minutes later we are soaring out of the lagoon and into the bright blue morning sky.
    We fly in silence for a few minutes. I don’t mind—my mind is racing.
    “What happened last night?” She asks finally, turning her attention from the sky for a brief moment. “What changed?”
    I’m not going to recount my night. It’s personal. “You wouldn’t believe me.”
    Joely laughs softly and I see something in her expression that makes me wonder if she didn’t have her own epiphany last night. The way I was feeling now, I’d believe it.
    I stretch, settle back in my seat and watch the island shrink in the distance.
    “Eden. I’m going to call it Eden.” My own paradise.
    She chuckles again. “Okay, boss. Not super original, but I like it anyway. It fits, I think. Definitely looks like an Eden.”
    Boss…
    I watch her handle the plane with utter confidence, thinking about how comfortable I feel around her. Like I know her, like I always have. I owe her. I trust her in a way I don’t think I’ve ever been able to trust anyone else, even before everything changed. Hell, I’m not sure this would have happened, if I’d have ever made it to Eden without her. Suddenly I have another one of those gut feelings I’ve decided never to question again, and the words fall from my mouth, sounding right as I say them.
    “Joely? I have a proposition for you...”

    About Lauren Hawkeye
    Lauren Hawkeye/ Lauren Jameson never imagined that she'd wind up telling stories for a living... though when she looks back, it's easy to see that she's the only one who is surprised. Always "the kid who read all the time", Lauren made up stories about her favorite characters once she'd finished a book... and once spent an entire year narrating her own life internally. No, really. But where she was just plain odd before publication, now she can at least claim to have an artistic temperament.
    Lauren lives in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Canada with her husband, toddler, pit bull and idiot cat, though they do not live in an igloo, nor do they drive a dogsled. In her nonexistent spare time Lauren can be found knitting (her husband claims that her snobby yarn collection is exorbitant), reading anything she can get her hands on, or sweating her way through spin class. She loves to hear from her readers!
