I was a little unsure with this chapter at first, but by the end i was pleasantly surprised with how it turned out.

I am trying to make sure i regularly update my other stories timely as well, so i apologize for the wait on this chapter.

Any errors are my own.

The Chateau was completely empty when I got to it. No twinkie, no John B. or Big John, just a letter taped to the screen door saying they were out with the Twinkie.

"Great." I sighed, pulling the note from the door and looking around the yard. There was no sign of JJ either, which left me sitting under the surf shed awning staring out at the marsh, my mind running through JJ's words. The last time I had watched JJ lose his shit was on the island.

Cleo and I had been lost for nearly 24 hours. We were tired, dirty, hungry, my leg was killing me from where I had fallen, and Cleo looked about ready to collapse from exhaustion. At some point we had lost track of time, and the sun had begun to set... We had turned around, but everything looked the same. When we thought we had made it to the beach, it had been on the other side of the island. Thinking we had enough time we went back into the dense forest to go back and hopefully find our way back, but the rain had picked up, making it cold, and hard to see. After I had slid down a small ravine, we made the decision to find shelter and try again in the morning. The good thing about the rain was it gave us fresh water at least.

Morning came and we finally found our way out of the trees and onto the side of the beach we recognized. We also heard hollering and our names being called from all around. Cleo and I realized we had screwed up when we got turned around. We were both up early and hadn't told anyone where we were going... As we rounded on the corners Pope was the first one, we saw and his eyes widened when he saw us, me heavily leaning on Cleo dried blood from my knee down.

"Where the hell were you guys?" he asked, running up to us quickly taking my other arm and placing it over his shoulder. "Are you okay? What happened?"

"Pope." I grimaced as we slowly limped through the trees into the clearing. "Calm down for a second and breathe."

"Breathe? Do you have any idea how worried we've been?" He scoffed.

"We got lost, couldn't find our way back in the dark so we waited until the sun came up." Cleo explained just as we made it to the sandy beach. Pope called out to John B and JJ who were running towards them the minute our feet touched the sand.

"What the hell happened?" John B. asked handing water to Cleo as JJ without a word took Pope's spot beside and lifted me into his arms. "Where have you been, we looked everywhere for you guys."

"Okay one thing at a time." Sarah said as we got to our camp area and JJ set me down gently before standing and running a hand through his hair. I looked up at him and watched as he pursed his lips and clenched his fists. He was mad... like finding out my dad threw me down the stairs, or Rafe attacked me on at the bonfire angry. His breathing was coming out in huff and he was avoiding meeting my eyes. "Roe?"

"Uh... yeah, no..." I cleared my throat and turned back to Sarah as she looked at my leg, undid our makeshift wrap we had made with Cleo's shirt and took a wet cloth and wiped the blood away gently. I hissed as she ran the fabric over the long cut that went down my calf and again as it crossed my knee. "It's just a couple scrapes, there was a slope that we tried to go down, the ground shifted, and I slid down about halfway."

"These are deep..." She mumbled.

"Here." Kie came up beside me on the other side holding the first aid kit from the boat we had seized from the freighter and opening it.

"May have been by accident but it got us in the right direction back though." Cleo acknowledged.

"Will someone tell me why you two thought it was smart to go off on your own?" JJ snapped glaring at Cleo again.

"Excuse me blonde boy, but watch how you talk to me, and I don't need to tell anyone anything. If I want to go for a walk, then I can go for a walk..." Cleo crossed her arms, and I rolled my eyes and shook my head.

"Stop both of you." I stated. "Look we were both up, you all were sleeping... we figured we go look for food, or at least get firewood." I explained wincing as Sarah and Kie finished cleaning the cuts and started wrapping it. "Once we realized we had been out for a few hours we turned around... but we ended up on the other side of the rocks and got ourselves stuck... it got dark, rather than roam around blind we waited until the sun came up and started back the way we came and then followed the sun."

"But you didn't tell anyone." JJ stated and I turned narrowing my eyes at him.

"I didn't realize I had to." I challenged. "Don't go off alone... that's the rule in the woods right, I didn't, we didn't... it could have happened to anyone of us going of together."

"But it happened to you." he stated, and it caught me off guard.

"What does that have to do with it?" I asked, pulling away just as Sarah finished. "So, you can go off and climb a freaking tree, but I can't go walk around in the trees, why?"

"Because you're a..." but he stopped. "It was stupid. You two could have been hurt a lot worse than a few cuts, or died..." I knew what he had been about to say, the whole group knew, and I could see both Sarah and Kie look slightly offended by the statement as well.

"Got it... you can go play George of the Jungle and I will sit here and try not to break a nail." I said annoyed.

"Roe..." he started but I just looked away and shook my head. "You know what... no, you went off and didn't tell anyone, you screwed up. You should feel bad. You have no idea how to survive out there."

"Newsflash JJ!" I snapped standing up so that I could face him. "None of us do. You can pretend all day long that you do, but you don't... you are figuring it out just like all of us are."

"Rowyn, you did freak us out. We honestly thought something bad had happened." John B sighed coming up behind me.

"Shit, okay I screwed up!" I gave in and held my hands out. "I am sorry. Sorry I wanted to help and do something instead of waiting for someone else to do it. I get it, I scared you guys, and I am sorry for that, but this could have been anyone of you in the same boat... would you be that upset if it had been Pope and Cleo or John B and Sarah out there? Or is it because I'm a Kook trying to be a Pogue?" I know it was harsh, but it had been what JJ had called me all those years ago and I could see him visibly flinch as I said it.

"She's right." Kie said, "It could have been anyone of us doing the same thing."

"Yeah, I mean none of us really know what we're doing, not really. The other day I was walking around and almost walked off the edge of cliff on the west side." Pope shrugged and I slowly felt the myself relax as the others understood.

"Okay so we make a new rule," Sarah sat back keeping her voice light. "We don't explore without someone and make sure someone else knows where they're going."

"Works for me." John B agreed.

"I don't care what we do as long as I can sit my ass right here until tomorrow." Cleo sighed sitting down beside me over exaggerating her movements forcing a laugh through the group. Everyone slowly started building a fire as the sun started towards the horizon and as everyone seemed to relax and move on, there was one person who still refused to look at me, and made a point to keep busy.

As everyone fell into comfortable conversation, I was still lost in what had transpired earlier. My leg ached but it wasn't anything that I was worried about, but how JJ had reacted... treated me, that was something I was worried about. I pulled myself up and slowly walked around the fire out towards the beach.

"Roe..." to my surprise it was JJ that had called out from his spot by John B, what wasn't a surprise was the accusatory, and demeaning tone he used.

"I'm going over there; you can still see me." I rolled my eyes looking at him with disbelief. "Or is that too far away?" He stared at me, and I could feel the tension roll through the group as they all actively tried to engage with one another away from JJ and I and I just shook my head. "Forget it." Without waiting for a response, I limped towards an area on the beach far enough away to hear the waves, but still close enough to not feel completely alone.

I wasn't mad at JJ, not completely. I know his anger came from worry... I was more mad at myself. It had been stupid to go off, I knew that, but I had been so stuck in my ways to be helpful, and Cleo was just excited to come with me, I didn't think further of it. The moment we got lost I knew it was stupid. Not water, or a way to let the others know where we were, it had been luck finding our way back. The sand shifted beside me and a familiar body sat beside me.

"Do I need a babysitter now?" I asked without looking towards him.

"Roe..."

"Just... please don't JJ." I shook my head. "I'm an idiot, you made that clear, so just... don't."

"Yeah, well... that's not really what I meant." he stated, "I mean it wasn't supposed to come across like that and I don't think you're a Kook..."

"Lived on my own most of my life, worked three jobs most of the time, lived in a motel..."

"I know."

"You do realize I can take care of myself right... that I've been doing the same as you have?" I scowled, finally turning to look at him trying to understand his outburst.

"I know that." he sighed frustrated running a hand through his hair, leaving it on the back of his head scratching it roughly.

"Then why the second degree, why..."

"Because I want to." He exclaimed, surprising me, releasing his head so he could look up at the night sky. "Because I want to take care of you. I know you can, I've watched you, but I want to, so you don't have to. And I realize that isn't fair to you but..."

"Jay..." I started quietly and he just shook his head and took a deep breath.

"You were gone. Lost and I had no idea if you were hurt or worse. No idea. It was the storm drain, the freighter, all over again and this time I wasn't there. I was here on the beach unable to do a damn thing and that scared the shit out of me." He explained and I finally started to understand. "It wasn't fair... what I said, but I just... when you came through the trees, I was relieved and then..."

"JJ I am sorry I scared you, I didn't go out looking to get lost," I placed my hand on his knee and he finally turned to me, "you have been keeping everyone calm, and working to make sure we can survive out here. This is your paradise, I just thought I could help."

"Rowyn." He placed his hand on the side of my face and pulled me towards him. "I love you, I just want to protect you.

The sound of a motorcycle coming up the road pulled me from the memory and I watched as dust spilled across the road until the bike stopped on the back side of the Chateau. My stomach was twisting as I watched JJ shut the bike off and get off looking around the yard.

"John B.!" I heard him call out and I sighed standing up and walking towards him. "Yo!"

"Hey." I called out. JJ spun around quickly seeing me under the roof of the shed, leaning on the beam. Hesitantly he started moving towards me.

"John B. not here?" He asked.

"Nope." I shook my head holding out the note I had pulled from the door. "Out with his old man I guess."

"Great..." he sighed pulling his hat off and looking at his feet. "So... what's up?"

"Rafe." I stated narrowing my eyes at his nervousness.

"What do you mean?" He looked up quickly concerned, an edge of anger on his voice.

"He's back on the island I guess." I explained, "Sarah saw him."

"Spectacular..." JJ growled shaking his head and I nodded in agreement.

"Thats not the best part..." I added and I watched as JJ's eyebrow lifted intrigued. "She overheard him saying that the cross is coming to Wilmington... tomorrow night. Something about trying to sell it."

"Does Pope know?" he asked and I shrugged.

"Sarah and Kie went to tell him." I answered. "He's on lock down. So, there's that."

"Yeah." JJ sighed annoyed walking past me to look out at the opposite side of the marsh. "No Pope, no John B... just when we need them." he paused before turning around quickly looking at me, excitement in his eyes. "Wait, we know where the cross is gonna be right? That means it's still on the field... okay, all right, so we can come in and swoop." I just watched him trying to wrap my head around everything. How he could go from blowing up at Kie to going on an adventure to Wilmington like nothing happened... like nothing was said. "We're still in this Roe. We gotta get everybody together, then we'll come up with a plan, get our asses to Wilmington." As he spoke quickly, I just nodded watching him pace and turn away from me.

Since arriving at John B.'s he hadn't looked at me for more than a second and then the mention of the cross and his attitude change just like that. And it wasn't because of anything other than the thought of getting the treasure back. With his back to me I just shook my head and started to walk back to the front of the house.

"Roe!" I heard my name called but didn't turn around. This adventure, this rescue mission, he had it already planned, there was no reason to stick around. "Rowyn wait, hold on where are you going?"

"Find a place to stay." I answered walking down the dirt driveway.

"What are you talking about? We have to come up with a plan to get the cross back and …"

"You have that taken care of without me, I'm not even sure why I'm here." I repeated his words to me and heard him suck in a sharp breath.

"You know I didn't..." he grabbed my arm and spun me around to face him but I just took a step back and just frowned at him.

"Do I?" I questioned. "You called Kie and I Kooks."

"I know I just meant..."

"That we had or have money, yeah I know what you meant." I sighed, closing me eyes and put my hands on my hips. "I also know that you do this... every time you're scared. You did this when John B. was gone and we thought he was... the thing is Jay... I can't do this every time you're insecure, I can't ask you what you want, if you want me around."

"Rowyn, I do. You're probably the only reason I haven't lost my shit..."

"You did JJ, you lost your shit, on Kie and on me because of who our parents are." I said, we stared at each other and I watched as he opened his mouth slightly to say something but quickly thought against it and looked away sheepishly. "I get it, I do. You hate help, you hate feeling or looking weak, and even when you needed help you never asked. On the island you were in your element, you were needed, instead of being the one in need. You protected us, made sure we survived, but dammit JJ..." I paused and watched as he looked up at me pain and regret in his eyes. "You can't stop people from being worried about you, yelling and calling names doesn't stop that, you can't just force people... no force your family to just turn a blind eye and not try to be there for you like you were for them... Acting like an ass won't stop people from caring."

"You're right."

"I..." I started to argue and then scowled at him. "What?"

"Being back here... I hate it, because here... here, I am no good to anyone, I have nothing and I feel like nothing." he said and I stepped closer, taking his hand in mine.

"That's not true." I shook my head, releasing his hand so I could hold his face in my hand and force him to finally meet my gaze. "You have me, that's not nothing... and you have the Pogues... we don't... I don't need anything more than just you, as you."

"But..."

"No buts." I shook my head and pursed my lips. "You told me once that I was enough... well, you are enough JJ. On an island, or in a foreclosed house, you are enough. I know your whole life... you freak when anyone gets close and I get that. No one blames you; I don't blame you and neither does Kie... but don't ever sit there and discount our feelings or say we don't care... don't ever say I don't care." I pushed myself up on my toes and met my lips to his. His hands lifted from their sides and held onto the side of my face pulling me flush to him and I felt his fingers tangle in my hair. His tongue traced against my bottom lip and I parted it from my top lip as he deepened the kiss. After a few more seconds the need to breathe took over and we separated, our breath coming out in huffs.

"I love you, Rowyn." he sighed brushing his lips against my forehead and I smiled and pulled away quickly squinting at him.

"I love you too but you called me a Kook..." I pointed a finger at him and he cringed looking remorseful.

"Okay... Hold on..."

"It was uncalled for... and a dick move." I stated.

"I know, I was a dick." he chuckled nervously rubbing the back of his head.

"Yeah, a low blow... you owe Kie an apology." I said and he nodded.

"I owe you one to." he said quietly and I looked up at him and gave him a small smile. "I'm sorry I let this all get in my head Roe."

"It's hard to be back... I get it, but instead of pushing me away, how about leaning on me instead." I offered with a shrug.

"Deal." He held out his hand and I rolled my eyes and took it. As we shook, he pulled me towards him again and kissed me hard before releasing my hand smiling down at me. "Alright, so how we gonna jack this cross?" he asked, pulling me towards the Chateau.

"No Idea." I answered with a sigh. We decided to stay at the Chateau overnight. It beat the couch at the Maybank place and we were hoping John B. would be back at some point so we could fill him in and hope he would join us. There was no such luck but Cleo, Kie, Pope and Sarah were pounding on the door bright and early.

"When I went back to Tannyhill, Rafe was on the phone with Ward, and he just kept saying, 'my thing, this is my thing.'" Sarah explained, "He had to be talking about the cross."

"Absolutely." Pope agreed.

"'My thing' that isn't his thing." I said quietly and felt Kie nudge my leg and gave me a small smile in agreement.

"And he's coming into Wilmington tonight at eight o'clock." Sarah continued and JJ and Pope shared a look. "It's being shipped by train to Raleigh from there, but this is our chance to get it back."

"You get any other information?" Pope asked.

"Uh, Sarah got the cargo number." Kie offered.

"Okay well that's a start." Pope nodded.

"If we're gonna do this we need to move quickly." I said looking around and watched as JJ nodded in agreement.

"They're definitely fencing that shit off as we speak." he stated.

"Sarah, you hear from John B?"

"No, I mean he's probably off somewhere with his dad." Sarah shook her head.

"I was hoping he'd come back at some point last night but there has been no sign of him since we got here last night." I added.

"The problem is they have the Twinkie." Sarah said.

"Our transportation." Pope said disappointed. "I mean I could ask Heyward for the truck." Pope offered and I looked at him in disbelief.

"After everything... you really think he's gonna let you chase down a train, and borrow his truck?" I asked.

"Yeah, that's gonna go well." JJ said under his breath.

"I know but we have no other options." Pope sighed. We broke off after that. Kie decided she had to tell her parents this time, she couldn't go off without saying anything in case something happened. She assured us no matter how her parents would react; she was still getting on the ferry today. Somehow, however, she talked me into going with her, and since JJ was my ride, he was forced to go into the Carrera home too.

"Honey, I am listening to you." Anna said as Kie explained for a third time everything. "I just am having a hard time, so I need you to walk me through it one more time."

"The cross of Santo Domingo that we found." Kie began again slowly. I stood behind the kitchen counter leaning on it watching the interaction. Mike was frustrated and none to please to see JJ when we walked in. The Carrera's gave me a hug and smiled but I could see the hesitation. The last time I had seen them I had run out of their restaurant calling them hypocrites. I don't regret saying what I did, but they were good people, good parents... but misguided and from how many times Kie has told us what they had done or said... I did regret my delivery.

"Right." Anna acknowledged.

"We thought it was gone forever," Kie continued. "But... its... it's gonna be in Wilmington tonight."

"Okay and the cross is Pope's families?" Anna questioned and I could see both her and Mike skeptical as Kie spoke.

"You can talk to Heyward." I chimed in, both adults turning towards me. "Just saying, rather than think it's some made up story... Heyward knows about it and the lineage of it."

"Right, its Pope's heirloom." Kie nodded, her mom nodded again but her face was pinched into a scowl. "Priceless historical artifact."

"Priceless..." Anna repeated, "which you're telling me you found."

"We found and then Rafe and Ward stole it from us."

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, do you know how insane you sound?" Mike finally spoke and I stood up straight watching as he looked between his wife and daughter and JJ and I. "Ward is dead."

"He's not." Kie and I both spoke at the same time and she looked at me with an appreciative smile on her face before she looked at her dad again. "We've been over this part a million times."

"Alright, you understand that this is hard to follow right?" Anna tried to diffuse the tension between her husband and daughter. "I mean we had a funeral for the man."

"To be fair..." I spoke again this time keeping my voice calm. "You all thought John B. was dead to... and that he actually killed Peterkin both of which weren't true. You can't think it's that hard to follow... I mean you've been proven wrong a few times now; I don't know maybe try and believe your daughter."

"I wish Ward wasn't alive but he is... why would we lie about this." Kie said pleading tone in her voice. "He's alive... JJ" I turned to follow her gaze to the blonde beside me.

"Yeah." he said almost like he wasn't paying attention.

"A little help." I hissed, eyeing him and then the two parental figures in the room.

"Wards alive in the Caribbean." JJ stated holding out his thumb and Kie nodded. "He's living off the loot that he stole from us," adding another finger he continued, "he's flying across to Wilmington."

"Give me a break man." Mike scoffed rolling his eyes.

"You're right, what do I know though?" JJ said with a shrug. "Just saw it with my own two eyes, so did Kiara and Rowyn, but whatever."

"I'm skeptical, okay." Mike said, "I am skeptical JJ, as in 'I think it's all bullshit' I think that you've been led astray Kiara, and you JJ..."

"You have got to be kidding me." I groaned.

"Mike." Anna tried to defuse the tension but Mike was quickly to put up his hand and shake his head.

"No, no, no, no." Mike said, "Let's get this out in the open."

"Can we take this down a little?" Anna tried again but Mike wasn't looking at her anymore, his eyes were trained on JJ.

"Let me tell you something." Mike stated. "You need to understand that I do get it."

"Sure, you do." JJ shook his head and I couldn't help the roll of my own eyes.

"Do you hear me?" Mike scowled placing one palm on the counter as he gestured with the other at JJ. "I do. I like you JJ, and I bet you're fricking fun to hang with, and ditch school with, go down to the break, because I was once just like you, bro. I didn't think that anything mattered. Thought I could make up any bull shit story and these stupid Kooks would believe it. But then I learned about hard work. And about what really matters. All I care about, all that I care about is my daughter. That's it. And all that I know is that she was a lot better off, before she met you and your friends."

"You're so full of shit." I said shaking my head at him in disbelief. From the corner of my eye, I could see Kie's eyes widen in surprise and shock at my outburst.

"Excuse me?" Mike looked at me confused and angry.

"You say you were like him, but if that were true... you wouldn't be putting him or any of the Pogue down because... because of where they come from, because they are on the wrong side of the tracks." I spoke.

"That's not what I said..."

"That is what you said." I challenged. "Look I like you guys, I do... and honestly since I met you and you gave me a job, I have been jealous and envious, because I could only dream to have parents that give a shit... but after this... the threats to Kie because of who she hangs out with? I understand you guys love her, and are trying to protect her, but you think that that means the Pogues and I can tell you, the Pogues are the last people on this island that want to hurt your daughter, in fact they would do ANYTHING to protect her. I was kidnapped with her for Christ's sake." I had to close my eyes and take a deep breath to try and calm myself down before I continued.

"You are so set in your ways, so set in believing that Pogues are the problem that you won't even consider that your daughter may actually be telling you the truth. She could have easily gone to Wilmington without telling you anything, but she wanted to come here and talk to you guys first. Why is it so hard for you to believe her, and why are you always so quick to blame JJ or John B or Pope?" I watched as Mike crossed his arms over his chest and started to open his mouth but I shook my head. "You know having been on both sides and seeing everything from the outside in the only difference between Kooks and Pogues is money. Hard works is not monopolized by Kooks, every Pogue I have met and know works their asses off to try and get ahead try and move away from this stigma the Kooks have given them. Kooks get in just as much shit as Pogues do, the only different... Pogues are the only ones that get the bad rap, because Kooks..." I gestured to the Carrera's as I said the word, "just look the other way, and call it impossible."

For the second time in the two months, I walked out leaving the Carrera's no chance to respond. My heart was pounding as I skipped every other step to get down the deck of the home. Keeping my pace quick, I walked towards the docks, ignoring the nagging feeling to go back and apologize for my outburst. Before I could talk myself into turning around, JJ's bike revved behind me and I spun just as the bike came to a stop beside me.

"That was hot." He smiled at me leaning on his handle bars.

"Shut up." I rolled my eyes but laughed as I moved to get on the back of his bike. "How bad was it after I left?"

"I left just after you, but Mike was ready to blow his top that's for sure." he answered with a smirk.

"What about Kie?"

"Based on the look she gave me as I left... she'll meet us there." he said and I nodded wrapping my arms around his torso and put my head on his back just as he pulled away from the side of the road and sped towards the docks.

"So do we have a plan?" I asked once we reached the Ferry. We were pulled off to the side waiting for boarding and for the others to arrive and I started to realize other than getting on the Ferry there was no real way we were gonna get the cross.

"Get on the Ferry." JJ started and I nodded.

"Yep, figured that much out." I smiled.

"Get to Wilmington." he added.

"and..."

"And... I'm still working on the rest." he shrugged.

"Great, filled with confidence." I rolled my eyes.

"Rowyn?" my name being called behind us caused me to scowl and turn quickly in confusion. Across the street my mom stood staring at me, her face surprised and she blinked a few times as if I was about to disappear.

"Mom...?" I watched as the woman ran across the street. Looking at JJ quickly I didn't have any more time to say anything before her arms were wrapped around me.

"Oh, sweetheart." she said into my shoulder her arms squeezing me, while mine awkwardly tapped her back, still trying to figure out what was going on. "I was so worried... when they said you disappeared, and then hearing you were back..."

"What are you still doing here?" I asked as I pulled away and her face fell slightly and I felt bad for my abrupt question. "I thought you would be back on the main land with your other family."

"When I heard you went missing, I stayed behind." she explained but I was still reluctant to get any closer. "With your father leaving the house was empty so..."

"You moved in?" I finished raising an eyebrow.

"I know me coming back... you were angry and I realize that's my fault." she spoke quietly and my frown deepened. "With you coming back, I just want a chance." I looked over my shoulder at JJ who seemed just as confused as I was, but he didn't hesitate coming up behind me.

"Sorry, uh..." I shook my head and closed my eyes before gesturing from JJ to my mom. "Mom this is JJ, JJ, this is my... mom."

"Nice to meet you JJ." My mom put on a large smile and held out her hand. JJ took her hand and shook it.

"Mrs. Daniels." He nodded.

"It's Harper now." My mom corrected and JJ nodded with a smile. "I would love to sit down with both of you, talk about where you've been..."

"We're kinda in the middle of something." I interrupted awkwardly pointing to the Ferry behind us.

"Sure, sure." my mom nodded disappointed but looked up quickly with a genuine smile, "Come by the house for breakfast tomorrow, both of you. It will give us time to sit down and..."

"Mom..."

"I'm just asking for a chance Rowyn." Her smile faded and her eyes pleaded with me. "Please." She took my hand and placed her other one on top of it, her eyes never leaving mine.

"Uh, okay, we'll think about it." I offered feeling uncomfortable. The horn on the Ferry filled the air around us causing me to jump and look over my shoulder. I could make out the others looking at us from the entrance, and Sarah lifted her hand up waving at us when she noticed me looking. "We have to go. I'll talk to you later mom." I said quickly, taking JJ's hand and turning around quickly. My mom stayed rooted in place as she watched us go, taking quickly glance over my shoulder as we started to board, she gave me a small wave and smile.

"You okay?" JJ asked quietly once the boat started to disembark from the dock.

"That... that was weird." I sighed, leaning on the rail and watching the island slowly start to get smaller.
