“Don’t abandon me, old man.”
“Abandon you?” He was confused.
“I heard a story. A couple were shipwrecked and trapped in a cave. They had no food. To survive, the boyfriend killed his girlfriend and ate her,” she explained.

Carlos threw her a glance.
“Well, there is that… And I do like the way you taste,” he said with a far-off Look in his eyes.
Debbie could tell that he was thinking of something dirty, but she wasn’t going to say anything. All it would do would cause problems, and all they had were each other.
They bantered while they ate. Debbie didn’t like the taste, but she kept stuffing herself. They needed energy to escape.
By the tthey finished eating, it was dark. Debbie lay on the sand, looking at the starry sky.
“Do you think they’ll find us?” she asked.
Sitting beside her, also Looking at the sky, Carlos said firmly, “Oh,
I’ve got good friends. They’ll find us.”
Unless he missed his guess, Wesley would get the idea that something was very wrong.
Debbie rolled on her side and faced Carlos.
“Old man, why don’t we Live here?” Life on this deserted island would be hard, but it would be quiet and simple. They could set up a little hut, and it would be just like Gilligan’s Island. It would just be her and Carlos. The more she thought about it, the more she Liked it.

After a short pause, Carlos asked, “Why didn’t you marry Piggy’s father, Hayden? Why Ivan?”
He could tell Ivan didn’t love her. And they didn’t really act like a married couple.

“Who told you that?”
That hit him Like a slap. Hayden told him so.
“Eww. What the hell, Carlos?” Debbie lay on her back and fixed her eyes on the sky again.
