CHAPTER 4
Joey looked at the outline of land as far as she could see. As it grew closer her heart fluttered. She was just hours away from seeing her brother and partner again. Her phone had got wet and broken while she was at sea and she hadn't contacted any of the important people in her life for 8 days now. She hadn't even advised them what time she would be in Summer Bay but she had faith that both would be waiting for her.
The hours went by slower than she could imagine. The rest of her crew were also watching the land grow closer so they could get on a bus to the city to see their loved ones. As the town came into sight she couldn't help but smile. It was just like those holiday locations and soon this would be home. Joey had decided as soon as she lay eyes on the place, this is where she would move even if Tracy wouldn't. It isn't to far to travel to visit her she convinced herself.

Brett waited on the shore. He had checked with Aden a local boat hand what time Joeys boat was due in and he could see it grow closer. He was surprised not to see or even hear from Joeys girlfriend as he knew that she would have known about Joey having 4 days at shore. He didn't mind as he had so much to tell his younger sibling and would enjoy having her to himself.
He had already made Summer Bay his new home. Business was going well, He had a small apartment and of course he had met the most wonderful girl called Charlie. They had been out of several dates and she had agreed to come over for dinner later tonight to meet his sister.
Brett also had a second job doing night security in Yabby Creek. So he hoped to leave Charlie with Joey later on in the evening to get to know each other. He was ready to be serious about this girl but not until he had Joeys approval.

Joeys head dropped down. She had run to the beach to hug her brother but she had kept looking around to find Tracy. She was nowhere to be seen.
"This place is lovely" Joey stated
"You wait till you meet the people. Lets go get a coffee and I'll show you around" Brett couldn't hide the excitement in his voice. Him and Joey had always been so close and he had missed her so much.
Brett introduced Joey to all the locals and his friends. They had even run into Ruby who had taken an instant liking to Joey.
"How long are you hear for? Have you met my mum yet? Isn't their relationship awesome?" Ruby quizzed Joey.
"Just four days at this stage. No I Haven't and I think Brett still has something to tell me!" Joey laughed as she looked at her Brother wanting an explanation.
Joey couldn't help but look around and notice all the very attractive women around her. She hadn't looked at anyone for two years in this way but she noticed Martha and Leah and couldn't take her eyes off their beauty. And she was still to meet the most attractive member in the Bay…..
