back,” she said, kissing him lightly on the cheek.
    Demetri cupped her face. “I don’t remember you but I know I don’t ever want to see you hurt. Don’t do that again, promise.”
    “Okay,’ she murmured.
    “And I hated seeing you with that guy. I didn’t understand it, but I really hated him.”
    Caroline chuckled, “Mike? You were jealous?”
    “Me, jealous. You’re crazy,” he pushed himself up and stood, helping her up in the process.
    “I think you were,” she wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head on his chest. “Thanks for coming back,” she said, soberly.
    “I’ll let your doctors check me out and see what’s wrong. But,” he hesitated. “What if I can’t regain my memory? What then?”
    She raised her face to look at him, “We’ll start over. We also need to contact your Commanding Officers to let them know.”
    “Let’s get this out of the way first, huh, and then we deal with the Navy,” he replied.
    “Okay,” her spirits lifted while they walked back to the hotel.
    To Caroline’s surprise, Demetri took her hand while they walked. He told her of his time on the island and how he survived through fishing, and doing odd jobs for money. He found that he liked the simple life but always felt that something or someone was waiting for him. He knew he didn’t belong there.
    Back in her room, they stayed up most of the remaining hours of the night talking in the plush sofa bed in the living room. There, they fell asleep in the wee hours of the morning, just at the break of dawn.

    “Jacob come,” Madelyn whispered, beckoning to her son to come see what she was looking at.
    A broad smile broke out on his face when he saw his sister curled up in the arms of her fiancé, both of them fast asleep.
    “Let’s leave them, Mom,” Jacob said.
    He led away his reluctant mother, who wanted to stay and watch her daughter sleep. She looked so peaceful lying there. It was the first time in a month that Madelyn saw Caroline with that look of serenity on her face. She was glad that Demetri had returned but she was curious about a few things.
    “Mom, you think he remembers?”
    “I hope so, they looked pretty cozy. I was worried when Caroline hadn’t returned last night. I am glad she’s okay.”
    Shortly, Thomas Sutherland and Dr. Mathias joined them for breakfast on the lawn. There were clouds rolling in and it seemed like it was going to rain. There was a strong breeze coming off the ocean. After breakfast, they decided to hang out in the lounge while they waited for Caroline and Demetri. Thomas was beside himself that his daughter may have found the happiness she lost. It was apparent that his wife was anxious about the couple, so he tried to console her.
    “Calm down Maddie, they’re together, that’s a good sign,” Thomas told Madelyn.
    “You’re right, I needn’t worry. I’m just hope nothing major is wrong with him. He’s like a son to me. I couldn’t bear it if something else happened.”
     
    Her eyes flicked open. She was alone on the sofa. Dread enveloped her and she sprang to her feet, running frantically to the terrace. He wasn’t there. She checked the bedroom and he wasn’t there either. She ran to the beach and he was not there. Caroline was frantic. Demetri had left her…again. She ran down the beach to where he used to live, but the place was empty.
    She ran back up the beach, but he was nowhere to be seen. Did he leave her again? Pain ripped through her chest at the thought of Demetri leaving her for good. How much more could she take? He said he would try, and now, he was gone. She dropped herself on the sand in front of her hotel and wept. Her tears wrenching from her core.
    She cried until there were no more tears left to cry, her sobs becoming hiccups. There, on the sand, Caroline lay until strong arms lifted her and took her back to her room. They laid her on her bed and tucked her in. She’s worked herself into a frazzle it
