Lillian left bluebell shortly after her conversation with Cam. She needed to get away. She had made arrangements for Jessica to take care of her chickens while she was gone. She figured a month would be enough time to clear her head. She had packed a small suitcase and taken her cat with her. She now sat in the airport waiting for the small plane to Toucan Island. It used to be her favorite vacation spot. She regretted not telling Phillip, but she had informed Rutger. She couldn't bear to talk to Phillip right now, he would be just as upset about the turn of events, and she hadn't wanted to be the bearer of bad news to him.

She watched out the window as planes took off. How had her life come to this? She sighed. There was nothing she could do now. It was over, Cam loved Laney, and there was nothing she could do about it. Why had she fallen in love with him? She had been so blinded by her feelings, she had wanted him to love her. Perhaps she had jumped into it too soon after her divorce. She would be more careful next time.


Cam emerged from his room the next morning feeling emotionally drained. He couldn't believe how quickly his relationship with Lillian had ended. It seemed almost surreal how just yesterday he was holding her in his arms. This hurt more than Laney's rejection ever could.

"Hey," Laney greeted softly. Cam raised his eyes to hers. He knew she was just being Laney, and trying to cheer him up.

"Hi," he replied gloomily.

"Would you like some pancakes?" She asked. Cam sat down at the counter. He didn't feel like eating, but decided that it will be better not to argue with Laney. Howard set the pancakes down in front of him. Cam sighed.

"Comfort food," Laney quipped. Cam tried his best to smile, but was pretty sure it was unconvincing, he didn't want comfort food, he wanted Lillian. Maybe he had been too presumptuous in assuming that she would want to marry him? He was starting to feel like he had really screwed this up.


Phillip made his way to Howard's Cafe. He hadn't seen Laney since he'd been released from the clinic. It had been a few days, and he wanted to see her. Her visits while he was in the clinic, gave him hope.

"Hello," Laney greeted, her voice had a sad quality to it.

"What's wrong?" Phillip asked.

"You haven't heard?" Laney asked. Phillip looked at her curiously. What was she talking about?

"Cam got Lillian a blue feather and she rejected him, Cam's heartbroken," Laney explained.

"What?" Phillip was confused. Lillian had seemed really happy with Cam, and while Phillip hadn't liked him at first, he saw how happy he had made his sister. "That's very odd of her." He stood up and walked over to Cam's booth.

"Hello," Cam sighed.

"Is it true about you and my sister?" Phillip asked. Cam nodded. He steeled himself. He was sure that Phillip was going to gloat.

"Yes, it's true," he replied.

"I'll talk to her, she's probably just scared, but you make her happier than I've seen her in a while," Phillip said.

"If she doesn't want up be with me, then I can't make her, and neither can you," Cam insisted.

"I'm still going to talk to her, I think she's making a mistake," Phillip countered and walked off. Cam stood shocked. Philip was the last person he would have expected as an ally. He looked over at Laney, who had an expression of love on her face as Phillip walked away.

Phillip knocked on her door for the fifth time, no one was answering.

"Lillian!" He shouted. "Come on open up!"

"She's gone," a voice behind him said. Phillip whirled around. Rutger was standing behind him. "Heard the ruckus and decided to come check it out, your sister said she needed some time to clear her head, went up Toucan Island."

Phillip couldn't believe it. Lillian had left? Of course she would go to Toucan island, it had been their favorite vacation spot as children.

"Did she say when she's coming back?" Phillip asked. He couldn't believe Lillian had told Rutger and not him.

"In a month," Rutger answered. Phillip sighed. He didn't understand his little sister sometimes. Why was she running away from happiness?


Lillian stepped off the plane into the sunshine of Toucan Island. The warmth hit her face immediately. She still felt heartbroken. Even the tropical paradise of the island couldn't cheer her up. She felt a twinge of guilt leaving Phillip to deal with Laney and Cam all by himself, but she couldn't think about that right now.

"Welcome to Toucan Island!" A man greeted her. He placed a bright fresh lei around her neck. Lillian did her best to smile. She might as well try to enjoy herself.

Laney's heart was filled with conflicting emotions. While she felt bad for Cam, what Phillip had done, had made her fall even more in love with him. She knew now what she needed to do. She could barely wait till the cafe closed to go see him. The hours seemed to drag on endlessly, but when she had finally finished her duties, she quickly made her way to Konohana.

Phillip was rounding up his few animals when she arrived at his farm. She ran up to him. He saw her as she was just about to reach him. Flinging herself into his arms, she kissed him. It felt like coming home. After a few minutes, Phillip gently pulled away.

"What was that all about?" He asked. His smile was blinding. Laney felt as if she could stare at that smile forever.

"I love you Phillip Stone," Laney answered. "I'm sorry I was so blind before. Your past doesn't matter, all that matters to me is your future. And if you'll have me, I still want to marry you!"

"Of course I do Laney!" Phillip exclaimed. He felt as if his heart was going to burst with happiness. He swept her off the ground with a hug, then kissed her passionately.
