“Leo?” She whispered. She did not believe it. She had to be hallucinating.
“Yes, my darling sweetheart. It is me. I swam after you. I could not let you go. I would have let myself drown before I gave up looking for you.” Leo gushed between his tears.
“Leo?” Ana was sobbing suddenly. “Why?” She was shivering, crying, and panicking. Why did Leo love her so much that he would die for her?
“Because I love you, Ana. You are my soul mate. I am so thankful I found you” And he picked her up and held her close, pressing his lips against hers again. He could feel her shivering. But her eyes were closed. And then Ana parted her lips, and his tongue entered her mouth. But suddenly, she was coughing and shivering again.
Leo pulled her up into a sitting position worriedly and massaged her back. “Did you swallow water?” She nodded. “How is your back? He asked.
Ana did not know. She looked down at her legs and struggled a little to move them. They moved a few inches without pain, but after about five inches, pain shot through her back. “It still hurts. I haven’t tried to stand, and I barely crawled onto the rock.” she gasped. “And my right ankle.” She pulled off her sock and pointed at the bumps, bruised and bent. “She broke it.” She whispered.
Leo studied it. He was sure she was right, in which case she could only walk with crutches. Then the issue was still her back. Perhaps the woman twisted it, or she had a few damaged discs and not a permanent injury.
Ana’s voice brought his gaze back to her face. “Are we just going to die on this rock?” She cried.
Leo hugged her, “no, baby girl, no, we aren’t going to die.” He held her till the tears stopped. Then he pointed. “The beaches are that way. I can see them; we went close to ten miles from where we started. There was a mini tsunami. I am not sure, but it pushed you away to the rock, and by the time I came to the rock, it flowed back. That is why we got so separated. But I reached you eventually. That is all that matters.” He kissed her.
“Leo. How are we going to get home?” She whispered to him. “Remember the EMP? There will be no more cars. How are we going to get home?” She started crying again.
“Ana, don’t cry so much. I know you are scared. I am too, but I have no water to give you. We do not have food. We are in the middle of the ocean. But we are alive. So many people are not.” He kissed her.
