She didn't laugh, but she reached out and squeezed my hand. Her palm was gritty with sand, her grip like iron. It was exposing our weakness
Using a bent safety pin from our wrecked cooler, a piece of fishing line that had tangled in the cooler’s handle, and a scrap of my shirt as bait, she caught our first fish on Day 11. It was a small reef fish. We ate it raw. It was the best meal of my life.
