No One Will Know

How far would you go if no one was watching?

I was eleven years old when violence shattered my world. The life I knew ended there.

For years, my family and I existed in a world of salt, sand, and survival. We built shelters, weathered storms that should have destroyed us, and buried the ones we couldn’t save.

One by one, I lost them all.
Until only Dane remained.

My protector.
My entire world.
A boundary I was destined to cross.

Fourteen years later, we were rescued.

The world called it a miracle, but the island had already remade us long before anyone came to bring us home.

Our rescue captures the world’s attention, and strangers become obsessed with our story. Cameras follow us wherever we go. Detectives ask questions no one should ever have to answer.

The more people look at us, the more convinced they become that there’s something wrong with the bond that carried us through fourteen years of isolation.

Maybe they’re right.

Because after everything we survived together, I don’t know where I end and Dane begins.
