The Winner Takes It All
The hot summer sun rose high above the mountaintops on the Island of calikari. The rays were bouncing upon the ocean like little dancers and the pure white sand appeared to glow in the morning sun light. The birds sang sweetly as they flew from tree top to tree top singing their joyous early morning song.
Heaven. That's what this morning was for the new Mrs Donna Carmichael as she lay sleepily in her husbands arms. She wanted to stay in that place forever. Laying contently in Sam's arms listening to the soft twittering of the birds whilst the sun beamed down through the net curtains and onto the bed. Donna knew she would have to get up at some point, afterall, since Sophie had left the island in the evening previous with Sky she had double the work to do in the hotel. But she wasn't prepared to make a move anytime soon.
"Good morning Mrs Carmichael"
Sam gave his new wife a gentle hug and kissed her golden hair.
"Why, good morning to you too my gorgeous husband"
Donna kissed him back on the tip of his nose. Their eyes locked and time seemed to stand still as they lay there gazing into each others eyes seeing nothing but true love.
"You do know there's double the work now Soph has left"
"Well I'm here now. We will run this place together, as a team, as man and wife"
"I miss her already"
"I know you do sweetheart but she has to go out there and see the world a little"
"I know, I know but I still miss her she's my baby"
"Correction, Our baby and I love her so very much"
Donna's smile beamed and she snuggled into his arms even further. They both drifted off back to sleep, neither wanting to break the embrace they shared.
A knock on the door woke Donna from her slumber and before she had time to get up and see who it was or what they wanted the door burst open and her breath caught in her throat.
