Though her mother always insisted on tucking her into bed, it was Tony who would sneak into her room after dark and read to her, the sound of his voice often the only way to lull her to sleep. When she was at her youngest, he read from Grimm's fairy tales, barring none of the gory details, but she didn't mind. They were more interesting that way. ( Read more... )

Emma has long since learned that it's best not to get too attached to anything or anyone, and that's not something she's ever thought to have much trouble with here. To stand on her own two feet, wanting nothing from anyone else, is the only way to be sure not of success but a chance on it, self-reliance the only way. It's a lot easier, she ( Read more... )

Two months now, Alex had been on the island, a length of time that felt both impossibly long and far shorter than it ought to have. She had known from the start that it was nothing she was likely to get used to after a whole life spent on a different island, at least not any time soon, but that did nothing to make it more comfortable in the interim ( Read more... )

Arriving in his uniform had to have been one of the worst parts of showing up here. Conner tried, but there was a large difference in height and build between them.

The path was laid out straight at as arrow and Boyd knew his purpose, could see it clear as day. And now, ( Read more... )

So the last thing that Cooper can clearly remember is seeing Jenny in that outfit (he still hasn't quite come to terms with finding Jenny hot, but it's getting easier and easier all the time). Jenny was hot and then that creepy, creepy French dude turned up and bye bye Jenny, and Cooper isn't really into examining how shitty that made him feel, ( Read more... )

It had been a long night, following an even longer day. Curious as she was about the different island on which she'd apparently found herself, Alex hadn't wanted to go far from her father's, too shaken, still, by everything that had happened. A part of her was still expecting for this not to be entirely real, the circumstances of her arrival and ( Read more... )

Rizzo knew beaches. She was from the Venice part of Los Angeles' Westside, and it wasn't called Venice Beach for nothing. Still, the island was somethin' else when it came to stretching out in a swimsuit and surveying the sights, as it were.

And, honestly, she'd lucked out in the swimsuit department.... the sexy cut, the jungle theme, and she could ( Read more... )

It had only been a week ( Read more... )
