made in the hopes that if there ever was a plane overhead they would see it.
After Davis lit the signal it only took minutes for the helicopter to spot them and land. The co-pilot got out of the plane and ran towards them. “Mr. Chatham? Thank god you’re safe. We’ve been looking all over for you. How many of you made it?”
Davis shook the man’s hands. “I’m afraid it’s only Ms. DonLeavy and me.”
“Well you’re rescued now. Let’s get you guys back to civilization.”
Nicole went to go grab her things. “Just leave it. Whatever you’ve lost, I’ll replace it.”
They boarded the plane. Davis was excited about leaving the island and Nicole was left wondering what was going to happen between them.
The pilot radioed back to base that he had found two survivors of the plane crash. He did not give their names. Davis didn’t want all the media cameras in their faces when they landed.

Four hours later, Davis and Nicole were settling into one of his posh hotels. Nicole had hoped that they would share a suite but Davis had gotten her settled into her own suite. He’d promised he would be back to check on her once he took care of a few things.
Although, it had only been a little more than a week since they’d been stranded on the island it felt like much longer. Was it even possible to develop feelings for someone in that short period of time? It shouldn’t be possible that’s what Nicole kept telling her heart. Her heart didn’t seem to want to listen. She decided to take a hot shower to calm her mind.
She felt a little better when she got out. She should probably call Dana to let her know she was safe. Nicole dialed her number and the phone rang a couple of times before she answered. “Hello, Dana? This is Nicole.”
“Oh my god Nicole! I was so worried. Are you ok? When Davis called I couldn’t believe it. The plane crash was all over the news. We thought we’d lost you.”
“I’m fine. A little exhausted but fine. Remember when I told you I hated flying? Well, this experience did absolutely nothing to change that.”
Dana laughed “I see you still have the same warped sense of humor. I’m glad you’re alright. Do you know when you’ll be flying into Fiji?”
“Not yet. Davis has been so busy that I haven’t really had a chance to talk to him since we’ve been back.”
“Davis? Not Mr. Chatham? What happened on the island and don’ leave out any details.”
“There’s not much to tell. I think when you survive a plane crash and are stranded on a deserted island it would sound a little silly to keep calling each other Mr. and Ms. don’t you think? Anyway, we both did what we needed to do to get through it.”
“Dana, I hate to cut this conversation short, but I’m exhausted. Can I call you tomorrow and give you all the details then?”
“Of course, I’m just glad you’re ok. We’ll talk tomorrow.”
Nicole disconnected the call and looked at the clock on the wall. It was 11:45pm. She had hoped Davis would have come by or called by now. Nicole tossed and turned all night probably because Davis never called.
Chapter 11
It wasn’t until the next afternoon that Nicole got a chance to see him. She needed to get out of the room because she was feeling a little claustrophobic. The hotel had an amazing garden so she decided to take a walk through it. That’s when she’d overheard a couple talking. Nicole didn’t mean to eaves drop but when she’d heard Davis’s name she couldn’t move. She felt rooted to the spot where she stood.
“Davis, when I heard your plane crashed I was so overwhelmed with grief. I thought I’d lost you for good and that I would never get a chance to tell you how sorry I was for hurting you the way I did. And…that I still love you. When I got the call that you were alive, I took daddy’s plane and came straight here. I made mistakes. I was lonely
