Katie's POVThe day started out like any other. Alex had already left for work, Lily was at school, and Max was playing with his toys in the living room. I was in the kitchen, making breakfast and listening to the news on the radio. That's when I heard it. A hurricane was headed towards our city.I immediately turned off the radio and rushed to turn on the TV. The news anchors were talking about the storm, warning people to prepare and evacuate if necessary. I could feel my heart racing as I thought about my family and our home.I called Alex, but he didn't answer. I left him a message, telling him to come home as soon as possible. I tried calling Lily's school, but the lines were busy. I could feel the panic rising in my chest as I thought about my family's safety.Just then, the power went out. I grabbed a flashlight and some candles, and I went to check on Max. He was playing with his toys, completely unaware of the danger outside. I scooped him up into my arms and hugged him tight

Katie's POVAs the weeks went by, we began to see signs of hope. The island's residents had banded together to start rebuilding, and aid was beginning to trickle in from neighboring countries.And finally, after nearly a month on the island, we received word that a rescue team was on its way. We packed our few belongings and waited anxiously for the helicopter to arrive.When it finally touched down on the beach, we ran towards it, tears streaming down our faces. We had survived, and we knew that we had each other to thank for it.As we flew away from the island, I looked out at the beautiful paradise that had become our home for a short time.

We would always remember the power of resilience, the importance of working together, and the strength of family.

Katie's POVOver the next few weeks, Sophia continued to try and contact Alex, sending him text messages and leaving voicemails on his phone. Each time, Alex would show me the messages and reassure me that he was committed to our family.But despite his reassurances, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Sophia had stirred up old feelings, and I didn't know if Alex was completely over her.One night, as we were getting ready for bed, I brought up my concerns with Alex. "Do you still have feelings for Sophia?" I asked, unable to keep the worry out of my voice.Alex looked at me, his expression serious.
