"Ok, let me take you to the main dwelling, everyone is probably there by now, you are lucky to be alive, and it was a good thing I heard you, or you might have been wandering for hours not knowing anyone was here. " Emily brushed past him, her arm touching his. It was a nice feeling, to have a man so close by. She swallowed hard and took his hand, something even unexpected for her. "Come Jared, I need to get you out of the rain." Emily led him forward, her mind filled with thoughts of him, his warm hand in hers. If he would have noticed she was blushing at the thought of his hand in hers. But Emily had to keep in mind, that he wasn't hers and that she was sure someone so handsome, a doctor even, must have a love that would come looking for him.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>As Emily took his hand to lead him towards their little settlement, Jared was a bit taken aback at her forwardness. They'd only just met, and already she seemed to be acting towards him as a girl might act towards a new boyfriend or crush. It was then that he realized just what his and his companions arrival on this island meant. The girls had been stranded here, for three years apparently, with no men. It was hard enough for him to imagine what being without a woman for that length of time would be like, let alone being able to imagine how the women must feel. Perhaps seeing a man for the first time was making her notice just how much she'd missed them.<br/><br/>Leaving his hand in hers as they walked, he glanced around the area around them.<strong>"So this is an island you say? How big is it? You mentioned a river I think, so obviously fresh water isn't an issue. What about food? How do you girls manage with that?"</strong>He was really interested to see how they'd handle things here. He'd been a fan of the television show 'Lost' for sometime, though more so for the survival aspects then any of the crazy conspiracy theory parts.<strong>"Obviously you girls have prospered while you've been here. I'm really interested to see what all you've accomplished."</strong>
